Abstract: Overall transmittance of porous cerium dioxide is measured in the spectral range of 900–1700 nm using dispersive spectroscopy. Dense and porous samples of cerium dioxide with average porosities ...

Abstract: We designed and tested a scaleable solar multitube rotary kiln to effect the endothermic calcination reaction CaCO3→CaO+CO2 at above 1300K. The indirect heating 10-kW reactor prototype processes ...

Abstract: A reacting packed-bed undergoing a high-temperature thermochemical solid-gas transformation is considered. The steam- and dry-gasification of carbonaceous materials to syngas is selected as the model ...

Abstract: Reticulate porous ceramics employed in high-temperature processes are characterized for heat and mass transfer. The exact 3D digital geometry of their complex porous structure is obtained by ...
