Utilization of bottom-of-the-barrel petroleum products like heavy fuel oils (HFO) derived from
vacuum residue oils (VRO) is essential for the sustainable use of crude oil. The high sulfur …

Many studies, as numerical and experimental, regarding the applications of solar dish
concentrators have been performed. Most researchers focused on the maximum thermal …

CO2 reutilization processes contribute to the mitigation of CO2 as a potent greenhouse gas
(GHG) through reusing and converting it into economically valuable chemical products …

We report on the effectiveness of an air curtain to mitigate convective heat losses from a
heated cylindrical cavity receiver operated at fixed tilt (15°) and yaw angles (0°). The cavity …

Correlations for natural convection heat loss from solar cavity receivers are widely based on
isothermal surface temperature assumptions, which do not occur in practice due to the local …

Concentrating solar power technologies can be applied to reduce the cost and carbon
footprint of zinc melting processes. This study aims to improve the knowledge related to …

A numerical model by coupling Monte Carlo Ray Tracing (MCRT) and Computational Fluid
Dynamics (CFD) was built to explore the convective heat loss of a cylindrical receiver with …

Heating pressurised air to high temperatures with concentrated solar thermal energy is
technically challenging mainly due to the heat transfer properties of the pressurised air and …

An experimental investigation is presented of the effects of wind speed (0–9 m/s), yaw angle
(0° and 90°), and tilt angle (15° and− 90°) on the mixed convective heat losses from a …
