RISReceiver/Reactor Concepts for Thermochemical Transport of Solar Energy
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Thermochemical transport of solar energy based on reversible chemical reactions may be a way to take advantage of the high-temperature capabilities of parabolic dishes, while minimizing pipe ...
Thermodynamic Characterization of Microcrack Dependent Material Response Properties
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Available experimental data from uniaxial tests are analyzed to estimate values for parameters of a microcrack dependent model of material response. The experimental data on microcrack density ...
