STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Maximum concentration ratio = 1/sin(Acceptance Angle)
C_m = 1/sin(θ_a)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 2 Variables

Functions Used

sin - Sine is a trigonometric function that describes the ratio of the length of the opposite side of a right triangle to the length of the hypotenuse., sin(Angle)

Variables Used

Maximum concentration ratio - Maximum concentration ratio is the maximum value of the ratio of effective aperture area to absorber area.
Acceptance Angle - (Measured in Radian) - Acceptance angle is defined as the angle over which beam radiation may deviate from normal to the aperture plane and yet reach the observer.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Acceptance Angle: 65 Degree --> 1.1344640137961 Radian (Check conversion here)
