Published at Renewable Energy – Numerical and experimental investigation on thermal performances of quartz tube gravity-driven solid particle solar receiver based on linear-focused solar furnace

Abstract: This paper reported a novel quartz tube gravity-driven SPSR. A test platform of the receiver with a drop length of 4m based on a linear-focused solar furnace was built. The optical performances of the linear-focused solar furnace were measured by a direct method. Solid particles were heated to a temperature of 156-308C after a …

Direct contact cascaded immiscible inorganic salt/high-density polyethylene

The present work assesses the direct contact cascaded immiscible phase change material (PCM) for solar heat storage systems (SHSS) in water heating applications. The direct contact cascaded immiscible PCM uses ternary salt mixture (TSM) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE). Improvement on phase behavior and thermal properties are obtained for the direct contact cascaded immiscible TSM/HDPE. The …
