A direct absorber reactor/receiver for solar thermal applications
Chemical Engineering Science, 1990 Abstract A novel catalytic reactor concept is described in which concentrated radiant (solar) energy is directly absorbed at the catalytic reaction sites, thereby avoiding the heat-transfer limitations of conventional tubular reactors for high-flux conditions. Results from a detailed numerical model of a direct catalytic adsorption reactor illustrate

Effects of Absorber Emissivity on Thermal Performance of a Solar Cavity Receiver
Advances in Condensed Matter Physics, 2014 Solar cavity receiver is a key component to realize the light-heat conversion in tower-type solar power system. It usually has an aperture for concentrated sunlight coming in, and the heat loss is unavoidable because of this aperture. Generally, in order

Plan for the commercialization of solar thermal central receiver systems
, 1980 Concepts for solar thermal central receiver plants have evolved through continuing research and development into designs that are projected to have higher efficiency and lower cost. Recent studies have combined these results with rising costs of fossil fired plants and fuels to show that solar central receiver plants can be a competitive alternative ...
