...L. O. Schunk; P. Haeberling; S. Wepf; D. Wuillemin; A. Meier; A. Steinfeld An improved engineering design of a solar chemical reactor for the thermal dissociation of ZnO at above 2000 K is presented. It features a rotating cavity receiver lined with ZnO particles that are held by centrifugal force...

...Christopher Perkins; Alan Weimer Computational fluid dynamics simulations were performed to model solar ZnO dissociation in a tubular aerosol reactor at ultrahigh temperatures ( 1900 – 2300 K ) . Reactor aspect ratios ranged between 0.15 and 0.45, with the smallest ratio base case corresponding...

...Jaimee K. Dahl; Alan W. Weimer; Andreas Z’Graggen; Aldo Steinfeld A solar-thermal fluid-wall reactor consisting of three concentric vertical tubes is constructed to dissociate methane to hydrogen and carbon black using concentrated solar power. Several aspects of the design are modeled for scaling...

...Jacques Le´de´; Enrique Elorza-Ricart; Monique Ferrer It is possible to use concentrated solar energy for producing zinc by direct high temperature dissociation of ZnO. The purpose of the present paper is to show that the overall efficiency of such a process as well as the quality of the products...

...H. Kreetz; K. Lovegrove; A. Luzzi Solar energy storage using a closed loop thermochemical system based on the reversible dissociation of ammonia, has been investigated at the Australian National University for over two decades. Theoretical and system studies have indicated that large scale systems...
