Abstract: The development and performance of a full-scale carbon particle cloud generator together with the evaluation of nine commercial carbon blacks is reported. Large variations were found in the ...

Abstract: Measured physical and optical properties of a stable polydisperse carbon black particle cloud at 532 nm and 1064 nm are reported. The particle cloud consisted of 99.7% spheroid primary particles ...

Abstract: The thermal fixation of atmospheric nitrogen is explored, using a recently developed concept of a particle-seeded solar receiver. The thermodynamics and the kinetics of the formation of nitric ...

Abstract: A solar particle receiver was developed to heat a process gas to very high temperatures. Its operation is based on seeding the process gas with a very large numerical amount (but small mass ...
