Abstract: A transient threedimensional heat transfer model is developed for a 3 kWth solar thermochemical reactor for H2O and CO2 splitting via twostep nonstoichiometric ceria cycling. The reactor consists of a windowed solar receiver ...

Abstract: Heat transfer is predicted for a solidsolid heat recuperation system employed in a novel directlyirradiated solar thermochemical reactor realizing a metal oxide based nonstoichiometric redox cycle for production of synthesis ...

Abstract: A volumetric solar receiver for superheating evaporated sulfuric acid is developed as part of a 100 kW pilot plant for the hybrid sulfur (HyS) cycle. The receiver, which uses silicon carbide foam as a heat transfer medium, ...
