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...

Design of a solar powered high-pressure steam generator

Creator:: Cordy, Clifford B., 1938-
Abstract:: The design of a point focus, distributed receiver solar power system is presented. It is shown that a two axis concentrator, with a two axis solar tracker and drive, has significant advantages over other possible optical systems. It is further shown that each concentrator should have its own optical receiver...

The synthesis, optical, and transport properties of SnZrS₃

Creator:: Harada, Daniel Ryan
Abstract:: Semiconducting materials which can be ambipolarly doped are highly desirable in many electronics applications, including use as solar cell materials. SnZrS₃ is being investigated for the possibility of ambipolar doping, with potential applications as a solar cell absorber layer. This dissertation covers the synthesis of SnZrS₃ and the related compound...

Transition metal solar absorbers

Creator:: Altschul, Emmeline Beth
Abstract:: A new approach to the discovery of high absorbing semiconductors for solar cells was taken by working under a set of design principles and taking a systemic methodology. Three transition metal chalcogenides at varying states of development were evaluated within this framework. Iron pyrite (FeS₂) is well known to demonstrate...

Nanotechnology for solar module applications : zinc oxide nanostructures and anti-reflective coating modeling, deposition, analysis, and model fitting

Creator:: Han, Katherine M.
Abstract:: To become a competitor for fossil fuels such as coal, solar installations will need to be produced and installed at a price equal to or below grid parity. This price can be approached by either reducing the overall system cost or increasing system efficiency. The focus of this paper is...

Inorganic thin-film solar cells

Creator:: Spies, Jack Alexander
Abstract:: The primary objective of this thesis is to explore new absorber and p-type window layer materials for thin-film solar cell applications. A new thin-film electron beam deposition system has been installed, is now operational, and has been used to deposit several types of solar cell absorber layers. Material investigations include...
