  • Numerical design of a high-flux microchannel solar receiver

    Creator:
    Rymal, Charles
    Abstract:
    This thesis discusses the design of several microchannel solar receiver devices for use in CSP (concentrated solar power) using CFD (computational fluid dynamics) simulations. The goal is to demonstrate that, by taking advantage of the higher heat transfer coefficienct of microchannels, solar receivers can achieve higher efficiency than current receiver...

  • Heat transfer during the piston-cylinder expansion of a gas

    Creator:
    Rodrigues, Matthew Jose
    Abstract:
    The expansion of a gas within a piston-cylinder arrangement is studied in order to obtain a better understanding of the heat transfer which occurs during this process. While the situation of heat transfer during the expansion of a gas has received considerable attention, the process is still not very well...
