To support the fast growth of Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) technologies, R&D efforts need to be continued to minimize costs. Reducing manufacturing, processing and maintenance costs is key to reach a competitive low production price for electricity.From this perspective, one issue that becomes increasingly significant is the service lifetime of solar absorber materials. In solar tower receivers,...
The focus of this paper is on the characteristics (in terms of pressure loss and heat transfer) of an isothermal turbulent flow inside the absorber of a solar receiver. After a short description of the receiver and the power plant, we will focus on a certain kind of internal geometry: straight fins. A preliminary study based on correlations will be presented. This study allows us to define the optimal...
