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 ...
