Experimental Characterization of a Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Microchannel Solar Thermal Receiver

Creator:

L'Estrange, Thomas

Abstract:

Characterization of a microchannel solar thermal receiver for supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO₂) is presented. The receiver design is based on conjugate computational fluid dynamics and heat transfer simulations as well as thermo-mechanical stress analysis. Two lab scale receivers with a 2x2 cm² absorber area are fabricated and experimentally characterized -...
