Abstract
In this paper we introduce an analytical solution to the optical efficiency of straight pipes that is applicable to all aspect ratios and provides accurate predictions with very low demands on processor time. The new analytical model is validated and benchmarked against accurate HOLIGILM calculations, while showing the percent deviations are kept below 10% for most cases studied.
