Title: Challenges in design and control of solar reactors
Abstract:Solar energy is sustainable, environmentally benign, and it has great potential
for producing fuels and industrial commodities via high-temperature solar thermochemical
processes. However, there is a major barrier to the economic viability of solar energy to
drive these processes due to fluctuations from sunrise to sunset, variable weather
conditions, and unavailability of solar radiation at night. Most current approaches to
address the transient nature of solar energy employ thermal energy storage to capture
excess energy during peak times and release it during transient/night periods.However,
thermal storage is usually not sufficient to cover unavailable periods that persist longer
than a few days (e.g., due to an extended period of cloudiness). This seminar presents
a novel solar thermochemical system developed by the presenter to produce fuels and
electricity simultaneously with the potential to run at constant efficiency, 24/7 throughout
the year without thermal storage and with robust control system. The system involves a
daytime solar reactor and a night/intermittent time reactor coupled to a carbon fuel cell.
Such a system introduces a substantially new perspective of solar energy and energy storage.
However, the major challenge to make this system work involves particle agglomeration
and deposits that can clog these dual reactors. The presentation demonstrates an approach
to address this problem systematically, including reactor design based on
multi-physics/multi-scale tools, the influence of flow dynamics on heat transfer,and
concluding with the impact of carbonaceous catalysts on heat transfer and fuel production
efficiency. The presentation concludes with the control model developed to maintain
constant temperature from sunrise to sunset.
