New analysis is presented identifying strong potential for Concentrating Solar Thermal technology (CST) to be a cost-effective contributor future sources of net zero-emissions, high temperature industrial process heat relative other emerging options. Nevertheless, significant further development the needed realise this because majority previous investment in CST has targeted lower applications power generation, which employs different working fluids and typically operates at scales. A comparison with flame temperatures employed current processes, together an allowance thermal storage, suggests that receiver range 1100 − 1500 °C will drive many high-temperature far above commercially also most pilot-scale work been undertaken date. Technology therefore potential, both solar plant processing plant, since reactors have developed utilise fossil fuels.

Exploring irradiated granular flows with rapid heating for concentrated solar thermal energy collection and storage

iScience, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 28(4), P. 112164 - 112164

Published: March 5, 2025

Gravity-driven granular flows along an inclined plane were considered with exposure to different levels of irradiation. Experiments performed average normal radiative heat fluxes 400, 500, and 600 kW/m2, the spatial temporal free-surface velocity temperature fields measured. Granular flow behavior changed under irradiation, primarily due increase in particle friction changing increased temperatures. A transient, pseudo-two-dimensional mass transfer model was developed capture relevant mechanisms these flows.
