  • 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...

  • An optimal design method for an air-heating solar energy collector

    Creator:
    Grill, Alan Richard
    Abstract:
    Some desirable features of a solar energy collector are listed and a collector design is presented which incorporates their features. As the collector is operated, air flows within the collector enclosure and is heated as it passes through a porous radiant energy receiver mounted in the enclosure. The porous energy...
