Combined radiative, conductive, and forced convective heat transfer through a packed bed composed of two spectrally dissimilar slabs of particles is analyzed on the basis of the two-flux model. Taking into account the variation of absorption and scattering of the layers in the visibles and infrared spectral ranges, the selectivity of such a system is proved theoretically. Experiments are run using a bed composed of glass and silicon carbide particles as a solar absorber for gas heating. Good agreement is shown in comparison of predictions with experimental data.read more

Fully coupled transient modeling of ceramic foam volumetric solar air receiver
Zhiyong Wu,Zhifeng Wang +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a fully coupled transient model of the volumetric solar air receiver is developed to predict the transient behaviors of the receiver under various working conditions, including pressure drop of the absorber, interfacial heat transfer between the flowing fluid and solid, and radiative heat transfer due to concentrated solar radiation absorption by ceramic foam and the radiation transport inside the media.
