Design and construction of a high-temperature gas receiver utilizing Small Particles as the Heat Exchanger (SPHER), phase 1
Abstract
The principles, design philosophy, and construction of a (SPHER) receiver are described. The system consists of two major components, the particle generator and the receiver. Optical properties and thermal properties of small particle suspensions and particle production and oxidation are presented. The instrumentation to monitor the operation of the particle generator and reciever is described. Particle generator test results are described. The performance analysis of a SPHER is included.
