			'''Jun 30, 2011'''

			Sun Tracker {{srcbranch\|vikram\|models/solar/tracker.a4l}}

			The different kinds of the tracking mechanism are considered to get the governing equation, which in turn, along with sunpos, gives the relation between time, position, orientation of the collector and incidence angle.

			Status : tracker 2 works, tracker 1 has issues


			Packed Bed Thermal Storage Tank at {{srcbranch\|vikram\|models/solar/packed_bed_thermal_storage_tank.a4l}}

			Assumptions:
			* One dimensional plug flow
			* No axial conduction or dispersion
			* No mass transfer
			* No heat loss to the environment
			* No temperature gradients within the energy storing solid particles (valid for Biot number less than 0.1)
			In this model, a packed bed thermal storage tank, in which pebbles are used to store heat, is modelled.

			Status : Completed mathematically but diverges


			Cylindrical Absorber {{srcbranch\|vikram\|models/solar/cylindrical_absorber.a4l}}

			Assumptions:
			* Cylindrical absorbing tube
			* Single glass cover over the absorbing tube.
			* No temperature gradient around the receiver tube
			* No loss due to conduction through the structure supports horizontal receiver tubes
			A cylindrical collector is modelled for both concentrator and flat plate systems. This model gives the total heat absorbed by water after all the convective, radiative and pipe losses.

			Status: completed mathematically but diverges


			Currently working on :

			* Pump: Fixed flow rate pump with heat losses
			* Flow mixer: Multiple flow inputs to the mixer and mixture fluid temperature and flow rate to be given as outputs.
