solar flux/energy calculation in a solar collector
(OP)
Can anyone inform me of how to work out the solar flux/energy imparted(?) on a heat collection oil from a parabolic trough solar collector.

Is there any way of working out......... If you have a collector exposed to the sun all day then could you work out how much sun gets to the collection oil (roughly, I know it will depend on the tracking/shape etc.) then losses from the oil and then hence the temperature rise created. (then I can get to use the equation you just sent me to work out the energy)
