RISA Techno-Economic Analysis of Solar-Driven Atmospheric Water Harvesting
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Water may be produced from atmospheric humidity anywhere on Earth; however, current approaches are energy-intensive and costly, thus limiting the deployment of atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) technologies. A system-level ...
Design, Modeling, and Characterization of a 10 kWe Metal Halide High Flux Solar Simulator
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We present the design and characterization of a high flux solar simulator (HFSS) based on metal halide lamps and built from commercially available components. The HFSS that we present was developed to support the evaluation ...
A New Reactor Concept for Efficient Solar Thermochemical Fuel Production
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We describe and analyze the efficiency of a new solarthermochemical reactor concept, which employs a moving packed bed of reactive particles produce of H2 or CO from solar energy and H2O or CO2. The packed bed reactor ...
The Development of Direct Absorption and Storage Media for Falling Particle Solar Central Receivers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Spherical sintered bauxite particles between 200 خ¼m and 700 خ¼m in diameter have been shown to be effective in the direct absorption and storage of concentrated solar energy. These particles are commercially available ...
