RISAnnular Compound Parabolic Concentrator
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The annular compound parabolic concentrator (CPC) is a body of revolution consisting of two axisymmetric surfaces produced by rotating a classical two-dimensional CPC around an axis parallel to ...
Experimental and Numerical Determination of Thermal Radiative Properties of ZnO Particulate Media
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The radiative characteristics of dependently scattering packed-beds of ZnO particles, applied in the design of high-temperature solar thermochemical reactors, were investigated experimentally. ZnO ...
Design of a New 45 kWe High-Flux Solar Simulator for High-Temperature Solar Thermal and Thermochemical Research
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, we present a systematic procedure to design a solar simulator for high-temperature concentrated solar thermal and thermochemical research. The 45 kWe simulator consists of seven ...
Heat Transfer Analysis of a Novel Pressurized Air Receiver for Concentrated Solar Power via Combined Cycles
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A novel design of a high-temperature pressurized solar air receiver for power generation via combined Brayton–Rankine cycles is proposed. It consists of an annular reticulate porous ceramic (RPC) ...
Tomographic Characterization of a Semitransparent-Particle Packed Bed and Determination of its Thermal Radiative Properties
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A two-phase medium consisting of densely packed large nonspherical semitransparent particles in a transparent fluid is considered. Its 3D digital geometry is obtained by computer tomography and ...
