RISDesign and Characterization of a Novel Upward Flow Reactor for the Study of High-Temperature Thermal Reduction for Solar-Driven Processes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The design and characterization of an upward flow reactor (UFR) coupled to a high flux solar simulator (HFSS) under vacuum is presented. The UFR was designed to rapidly heat solid samples with concentrated irradiation to ...
Evaluation of Alternative Designs for a High Temperature Particle-to-sCO2 Heat Exchanger
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents an evaluation of alternative particle heat-exchanger designs, including moving packed-bed and fluidized-bed designs, for high-temperature heating of a solar-driven supercritical CO2 (sCO2) Brayton power ...
Preliminary Design of an All-Ceramic Discrete-Structure Particle Heating Receiver
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Discrete structure particle heating receivers (DS-PHR), as used in concentrated solar power (CSP) systems, employ suitable discrete porous structures to intermittently halt the falling particles to control the speed and ...
On-Sun Performance Evaluation of Alternative High-Temperature Falling Particle Receiver Designs
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper evaluates the on-sun performance of a 1 MW falling particle receiver. Two particle receiver designs were investigated: obstructed flow particle receiver versus free-falling particle receiver. The intent of the ...
Thermal and Transport Properties of NaCl–KCl–ZnCl2 Eutectic Salts for New Generation High Temperature Heat Transfer Fluids
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Three eutectic salts from a system of halide salts NaCl–KCl–ZnCl2 were chosen for detailed study of thermal and transport properties with the objective of developing a next generation hightemperature heattransfer fluid ...
