Abstract: A device for studying the chemical reactivity of condensed phase materials under concentrated solar irradiation has been designed and tested. Heating and cooling rates as well as stagnation ...

Abstract: A solar receiver/reactor has been designed specifically to study high-temperature gas phase chemical reactions using a laser based metrology. It is a cavity-type receiver, lined with stabilized ...

Abstract: An improved engineering design of a solar chemical reactor for the thermal dissociation of ZnO at above 2000K is presented. It features a rotating cavity receiver lined with ZnO particles that ...
