Ever-increasing impact of burning carbon fuels puts a worldwide trend to shift to renewable
energy resources to contribute to a sustainable environment, energy and economy …

A highly efficient receiver is required because re-radiation loss increases dramatically with
increased working temperature. Among a large number of receivers, the fixed-bed Particle …

Pore-scale flow and heat transfer model is built for a volumetric solar receiver subjected to
highly concentrated irradiation, in order to provide insight into the detailed thermal and …

Abstract The Porous Continuum method with local thermal non-equilibrium state and the P 1
approximation is adopted to analyse the potentialities of using staggered stack wire meshes …

The effect of three geometrical parameters of volumetric absorbers in a standard cup–height
of the chamfer, the angle of the chamfer and the height of the straight protruding side–on the …

Volumetric solar absorbers are attractive for high-temperature concentrating solar
applications because they—theoretically—have lower re-radiation losses than surface …

Conventional solar thermal receivers are limited to operating at temperatures below 600° C
due to the operational limitations of liquid heat transfer fluids (HTFs). In addition, pushing to …

One of the remaining challenges of point focusing concentrating solar power systems is the
realization of a true volumetric receiver, one whose entire volume is utilized for the …
