Design methodology of a concentrating solar volumetric receiver
Akba, Tufan; Baker, D.; Mengüç, Mustafa Pınar (ASME, 2023)A volumetric receiver design process is proposed to respond wide range of power, outlet temperature, or mass flow rate needs. In the receiver model, concentrated solar radiation hits the inner surface cavity and heats the ... -
Geometric design of micro scale volumetric receiver using system-level inputs: An application of surrogate-based approach
Akba, Tufan; Baker, D. K.; Mengüç, Mustafa Pınar (Elsevier, 2023-09-15)Concentrating solar thermal power is an emerging renewable technology with accessible storage options to generate electricity when required. Central receiver systems or solar towers have the highest commercial potential ... -
Gradient-based optimization of micro-scale pressurized volumetric receiver geometry and flow rate
Akba, Tufan; Baker, D.; Mengüç, Mustafa Pınar (Elsevier, 2023-02)This study focuses on the design optimization of a micro-scale pressurized volumetric receiver by changing geometry and flow rate constrained by the volume, outlet air temperature, and outer surface temperature. The ... -
Modeling, transient simulations and parametric studies of parabolic trough collectors with thermal energy storage
Akba, Tufan; Baker, D.; Yazicioglu, A. G. (Elsevier, 2020-03-15)For investigating the system response of parabolic trough collector heat generating system, a plant with parabolic trough collector field and two-tank molten salt thermal energy storage model with component-level control ... -
Off-design performance of micro-scale solar brayton cycle
Akba, Tufan; Baker, D. K.; Mengüç, Mustafa Pınar (Elsevier, 2023-08-01)A novel methodology to design a micro-scale, solar-only, air-breathing, open Brayton cycle and assess its on- and off-design performance. The methodology is applied to generate and assess six thermodynamic layouts over a ...
