RISOptical Fiber Reflectometer Coupled With a Solar Concentrator to Determine Solar Reflectivity and Absorptivity at High Temperature
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Devices and methods are presented in which an optical fiber reflectometer and a solar concentrator are used to determine solar reflectivity and absorptivity for opaque and diffuse materials. The ...
Analysis and Experimental Results of Solar-Blind Temperature Measurements in Solar Furnaces
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Despite the existence of several possible pyrometric methodologies, temperature monitoring and control of samples heated at the focus of solar concentrators have still not received a universal ...
Concentrated Solar Energy as a Diagnostic Tool to Study Materials Under Extreme Conditions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper deals with the material testing under extreme conditions, mainly around space programs, using the French CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique) solar facilities for planetary ...
A 300kW Solar Chemical Pilot Plant for the Carbothermic Production of Zinc
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the framework of the EU-project SOLZINC, a 300-kW solar chemical pilot plant for the production of zinc by carbothermic reduction of ZnO was experimentally demonstrated in a beam-down solar ...
