Thermal performance of solar concentrator/cavity receiver systems

Solar Energy, 1985
Abstract To utilize solar energy at a high temperature, a parabolic dish/cavity receiver configuration is often used. The energy loss mechanisms of such a system are analyzed. System efficiency is defined as the power absorbed by the working fluid circulating in the cavity divided by the solar power falling on the concentrator aperture.

Thermal analysis of solar receiver pipes with superheated steam

Applied Energy, 2013
Abstract Direct steam generation (DSG) process in the absorber tubes of parabolic-trough solar collectors is experiencing an important development in the last decade. This concentrated solar technology can be used in solar fields for electricity production or industrial-process heat supply.

Design of a small thermochemical receiver for solar thermal power

Solar Energy, 1979
Abstract Capture of solar thermal energy by means of chemical conversion provides an attractive means for collection of solar energy. A converter has been designed for operation at the focus of a 7 m diameter paraboloid. The converter is constructed from a multi-passage ceramic extrusion, which is wound into a spiral form prior to firing.

Solar Central Receiver Thermal Loss Test Method

Journal of Solar Energy Engineering, 1990
This paper presents a test method for determining the thermal loss from a solar central receiver at normal operating conditions. The thermal loss determined by this test method is independent of knowing the incident solar power onto the receiver. Thermal loss includes losses from emitted radiation, convection, and conduction.

Modeling the solar thermal receiver for the CSPonD Project

2011
The objective was to create an accurate steady state thermal model of a molten salt receiver prototype with a horizontal divider plate in the molten salt for Concentrated Solar Power on Demand (CSPonD). The purpose of the divider plate is to separate the heated salt on the top from the colder salt on the bottom while allowing some of the salt to pass ...
