A coupled CFD–DEM approach to model the in-trough mixing in a multi-stage solar particle receiver
Concentrated solar power (CSP) is expected to reach economic competitiveness with conventional power plants in the foreseeable future. The use of fine-grained ceramic particles as a heat transfer fluid (HTF) for CSP is a promising alternative to other HTFs such as molten salts and nanofluids. Howeve...
