The primary goal of this research is to create a new billboard-style central spherical solar receiver with varying header and tube diameter, for which two spiral central receiver designs and a new circular central solar receiver with varying pipe radius and varying mass circulation are utilized. The exhaust temperature of the water was determined employing a computational fluid dynamics assessment employing ANSYS Fluent. Following the verification of the standards models, a novel central solar receiver project was made that accomplishes computational fluid dynamics assessment with almost the same boundary condition.The heat export fluid is water, and the spiral coil tube is copper. The mass circulation rate varies among 0.1 LPM, 0.2 LPM, and 0.3 LPM, with the inlet temperature of water being 299K at continuous solar irradiation. The findings demonstrate that at 0.1 LPM, the redesign of the central solar receiver produces a temperature of 383.9 K, which is 28.39 percent higher than the inlet temperature and 7.32 percent higher than the spiral central receiver. As a consequence, the circular central solar recipient to varying pipe radius is suggested and considered in upcoming usages
