Radiation Absorption in a Particle Curtain Exposed to Direct High-Flux Solar Irradiation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Radiation absorption is investigated in a particle curtain formed in a solar free-falling particle receiver. An Eulerian–Eulerian granular two-phase model is used to solve the two-dimensional mass and momentum equations ...
Thermodynamic Analyses of Fuel Production Via Solar-Driven Ceria-Based Nonstoichiometric Redox Cycling: A Case Study of the Isothermal Membrane Reactor System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A thermodynamic model of an isothermal ceria-based membrane reactor system is developed for fuel production via solar-driven simultaneous reduction and oxidation reactions. Inert sweep gas is applied on the reduction side ...
Thermal Model of a Solar Thermochemical Reactor for Metal Oxide Reduction
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A transient heat transfer model is developed to study the thermal performance of a high-temperature solar thermochemical reactor for metal oxide reduction. The solar reactor consists of an indirectly irradiated tubular ...
A Solar Reactor Design for Research on Calcium Oxide-Based Carbon Dioxide Capture
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An engineering design for a novel 1-kW solar-driven reactor to capture carbon dioxide via the calcium oxide-based two-step carbonation–calcination cycle has been completed. The reactor consists of a downward-facing cylindrical ...
