Numerical Modeling of Reflux Solar Receivers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Using reflux solar receivers to collect solar energy for dish-Stirling electric power generation systems is presently being investigated by several organizations, including Sandia National Laboratories, ...
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 ...
Comparison of a Cavity Solar Receiver Numerical Model and Experimental Data
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Results from a numerical model of axisymmetric solar cavity receivers are compared with experimental data for tests of a novel test bed receiver in the Sandia National Laboratories solar furnace. ...
