I seem to remember a chart that gave approximate temperatures for a solar furnace per Number of mirrors, or mirror arrays, 10x10 etc.

I have not been able to find anything resembling this chart.any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

At best, the chart would have been specific to that particular design –
I think you’ll need to re-find the article or contact the author.

Note that "thermal output" is generally not proportional to absorber
temperature.
