Solar Thermal Reduction of ZnO Using CH4:ZnO and C:ZnO Molar Ratios Less Than 1
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The solar thermal reduction of ZnO, using solar process heat and CH4 or C as reducing agent, is investigated for CH4:ZnO or C:ZnO molar ratios ranging from 0 (thermal decomposition at above ...
Pulsed Gas Feeding for Stoichiometric Operation of a Gas-Solid Vortex Flow Solar Chemical Reactor
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The thermodynamic implications of conducting the solar combined ZnO-reduction and CH4-reforming under stoichiometric and non-stoichiometric conditions are examined. For a solar flux concentration ...
Experimental Investigation of a Vortex-Flow Solar Chemical Reactor for the Combined ZnO-Reduction and CH4-Reforming*
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The co-production of Zn and synthesis gas by the combined reduction of ZnO and reforming of CH4 has been performed using a vortex-flow chemical reactor in a high-flux solar furnace. The reactor ...
Radiative Transfer Within a Cylindrical Cavity With Diffusely/Specularly Reflecting Inner Walls Containing an Array of Tubular Absorbers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Monte Carlo radiative transfer analysis is applied to a cylindrical cavity-receiver containing an array of high-temperature tubular absorbers directly exposed to concentrated solar power entering ...
Monte Carlo Radiative Transfer Modeling of a Solar Chemical Reactor for The Co-Production of Zinc and Syngas
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Radiation heat transfer within a solar chemical reactor for the co-production of zinc and syngas is analyzed by the Monte Carlo ray-tracing method. The reactor is treated as a 3D nonisothermal ...
Solar Production of Zinc from the Zinc Silicate Ore Willemite
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The thermal extraction of zinc from its ore willemite, Zn2SiO4, is investigated using concentrated solar energy. Experiments conducted at above 1750 K in a high-flux solar furnace yielded the ...
