ABSTRACT:
RADSOLVER is a computer program which calculates the radiation energy transport in cavity type receivers having an arbitrary number of apertures through which collimated beams of solar radiation enter. In contrast to the common assumption of gray (or semi-gray) surfaces used in the

modeling of radiation transport, RADSOLVER accounts for the wavelength-dependence of emission, absorption and reflection with a band model of the radiative properties. It is intended that this report serve both as an instruction manual for the use of the RADSOLVER code and a vehicle for presenting the underlying theory. Illustrative examples along with input and output are presented.
