heat absorption of glass under solar radiation or reflection mirror

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Dear This is Wade from China, I just met some difficulites of building phisics structure.

Here’s the description and module I want to build: Use solar energy by reflection mirror to melt aluminum; Most of the heat flux transmit through glass, some of them is absorbed by glass; Inner surface of glass has a coating layer to reflect long wave radiation of aluminum;

Though glass is high transparent in most of the wavelength of heat source, absorption is still considerable, so I want to calculate the temperature of glass under different illumination time.

I tried to build this simulation using (rpm), but I don’t know how to set boundary conditions, it would be really grateful if someone could give me some advise.

Thanks & regards
