RISEffect of Quartz Aperture Covers on the Fluid Dynamics and Thermal Efficiency of Falling Particle Receivers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Falling particle receivers are an emerging technology for use in concentrating solar power systems. In this study, quartz half-shells are investigated for use as full or partial aperture covers to reduce receiver thermal ...
Sensitivity Analysis of the Levelized Cost of Electricity for a Particle-Based Concentrating Solar Power System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study presents a sensitivity analysis of the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) for a particle-based system with the costs of the most current components. New models for the primary heat exchanger, thermal energy ...
Verification of Advective Bar Elements Implemented in the sierra/aria Thermal Response Code
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A thorough code verification effort has been performed on a reduced order, finite element model for one-dimensional (1D) fluid flow convectively coupled with a three-dimensional (3D) solid, referred to as the “advective ...

Defining Computational Emissivity Uncertainty Over Large Temperature Scales Due to Surface Evolution
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: There is a dearth in the literature on how to capture the uncertainty generated by material surface evolution in thermal modeling. This leads to inadequate or highly variable uncertainty representations for material ...
