A novel active volumetric rotating disks solar receiver for concentrated solar power generation

X. Randez et al.

Summary: A new active volumetric receiver prototype was used in this study to evaluate its thermal performance. Numerical and experimental investigations were conducted on the rotating disk cooling and convective heat transfer from the disks to a crossflow of air. The results show promising thermal performance of the lab-scale receiver and a potential improvement in efficiency compared to existing volumetric receivers.

Numerical investigation on heat transfer and thermoelastic stress in a solar cavity receiver

Jiabin Fang et al.

Summary: An optical thermal stress computational model was used to analyze heat transfer and thermal stress in the absorber tubes of a central receiver in a concentrated solar power plant. The results showed significant differences in thermal stress between boiling and superheated tubes, with the peak stress of superheated tubes being 54% higher. Increasing mass flow rate was found to effectively reduce thermal stress in superheated tubes, but not in boiling tubes. Careful control of boiling to avoid complete evaporation is recommended to prevent non-linear axial temperature gradients and appreciable stress.
