Solar Selective Volumetric Receivers for Harnessing Solar Thermal Energy
Volume 6B: Energy, 2016Given the largely untapped solar energy resource, there has been an ongoing international effort to engineer improved solar-harvesting technologies. Towards this, the possibility of engineering a solar selective volumetric receiver (SSVR) has been explored in the present study.

Abstract This paper reports on a comparative study of the difference in thermal efficiency between surface-based solar receivers (SRs) with conventional base fluids and volumetric solar receivers (VRs) with water-based multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) nanofluids. The analytical solutions for temperature distribution and thermal efficiency of SRs

Temperature Control of Solar Receivers
1986The effective use of new energy processes essentially relies on the possibility of ensuring operation continuity to maximize the integral energy output. This is particularly true in the case of central receiver solar plants where a reasonable return of the capital investment requires daily production periods to be maximized, in spite of severe ...

On the Stability of Solar Chemical Particle Receivers
Journal of Solar Energy Engineering, 1998We model the decomposition reaction of a solid powder into a solid plus gas in a mixed homogeneous open solar reactor and derive criteria for stability. Instability may occur via a feedback mechanism whereby gas produced in the decomposition reaction reduces the inflow, which leads to even higher reaction rate.
