RISThermal Modeling of Solar Central Receiver Cavities
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Results are presented from a numerical model of the steady-state energy transfer in molten-salt-in-tube solar cavity receivers that includes convective energy transfer at a local (spatially resolved) ...
Analysis of Catalytically Enhanced Solar Absorption Chemical Reactors: Part I—Basic Concepts and Numerical Model Description
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A detailed numerical model is presented for high-temperature, catalytically enhanced, solar absorption chemical reactors. In these reactors, concentrated solar energy is volumetrically absorbed ...
Analysis of Catalytically Enhanced Solar Absorption Chemical Reactors: Part II—Predicted Characteristics of a 100 kWchemical Reactor
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The CAtalytically Enhanced Solar Absorption Receiver (CAESAR) is a 100 kWchemecal test reactor currently in operation. This type of high-temperature chemical reactor volumetrically absorbs concentrated ...
Investigation of a Direct Catalytic Absorption Reactor for Hazardous Waste Destruction
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Direct Catalytic Absorption Reactors (DCARs) use a porous solid matrix to volumetrically absorb solar energy. This energy is used to promote heterogeneous chemistry on the catalytic surface of ...
Heat Transfer Modeling of the IEA/SSPS Volumetric Receiver
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: During the summer and fall of 1987 in Almeria, Spain, a wire-pack receiver was tested by the International Energy Agency/Small Solar Power Systems (IEA/SSPS). The basic operation of the receiver ...
