The need for new technologies to provide economically viable sources of high-temperature
heat without any net CO 2 emissions for industrial chemical processes has become a global …

Thermochemical reactions involved in endothermic reactions can make use of concentrated
solar irradiation as the energy source for high-temperature processed heat. Over the past …

New numerical models are developed for describing the multi-dimensional shrinkage
behavior of the packed bed in solar driven gasification reactors. These shrinkage models …

To study the volatile evolution mechanism during solar pyrolysis of biomass, willow pellets
with thicknesses of 3 mm, 1 mm and 0.5 mm were used to investigate the dynamic pyrolysis …

This paper reports a combined experimental and numerical investigation on the impact of
particle size on the MILD combustion characteristics of pulverised brown coal. In particular …

In this work a vertical furnace is used to investigate the MILD (Moderate or Intense Low-

We investigate the energy transport and heat transfer efficiency in turbulent Rayleigh–
Bénard (RB) convection laden with radiatively heated inertial particles. Direct numerical …

We report on the design and first-ever experimental demonstration of a 3 kW pressurized
solar reactor for thermochemically converting carbonaceous feedstocks into gaseous fuels. It …

The paper reports on the thermal performance of the sub-system for a solar thermal particle
technology used to generate high temperature air, including refractory-lined particle-laden …

The advancements of the Concentrating Solar Thermal (CST) technologies in the heat and
