Assessment of Particle Candidates for Falling Particle Receiver Applications Through Irradiance and Thermal Cycling
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Falling particle receiver (FPR) systems are a rapidly developing technology for concentrating solar power applications. Solid particles are used as both the heat transfer fluid and system thermal energy storage media. ...
Pairing Directional Solar Inputs From Ray Tracing to Solar Receiver/Reactor Heat Transfer Models on Unstructured Meshes: Development and Case Studies
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A novel method for pairing surface irradiation and volumetric absorption from Monte Carlo ray tracing to computational heat transfer models is presented. The method is well-suited to directionally and spatially complex ...
