Thermodynamic modelling and solar reactor design for syngas production through SCWG of algae

TL;DR: In this paper, a solar cavity receiver/reactor for on-sun supercritical water gasification of algal biomass is presented, where solar energy is utilized to increase the temperature of the reaction medium from 400 to 605 °C and simultaneously drive the gasification.
