Based on the general equation for a solar concentrator, parameters vary slightly to determine the optical eﬃciency. 2-D MATLAB code is written to obtain the diﬀerent shapes of the concentrator. e results of 2-D hyperboloid concentrator (2-DHC) has been reported. e optical eﬃciency, eﬀective concentration ratio, receiver major axis and concentrator height have been investigated through ray trace analysis. e optimisation of the concentrator proﬁle and geometry is also carried out, based on the geometrical concentration ratio. e maximum optical eﬃciency is found to be 51% and the maximum acceptance angle of ±60° was achieved. بعادئية اابتة ثناقة الشمسية الثلطاركزات ا ندسيةت الباروميل ال 2 لطاهر و فرج علي ا 2 وكمد ا وك , ا 1* د مفتاح صام ا ندسة, جامعة سرتية, كلية ايكانيكندسة ا قسم ا 1 ندسة , جامعة سرتئية , كلية الكيميا اندسة قسم ا 2 , سرت لبيبا674 ص.ب Solar Energy And Sustainable Development Refereed, biannual scientiﬁc journal issued by Center for Solar Energy Research and Studies
