Abstract

Recently the capture and release of the Solar Energy based on the Thermo-Chemical Solar Power, has become the topic of much interest. This Technical note discusses the maximization of this technique, based on mathematical modeling. The recent interest in the use of fulvalene diruthenium for storing the solar energy has also been discussed and emphasized with reference to recent research work. The design parameters including effective absorptance of the solar cavity receiver, effective emittance of the solar cavity receiver, the enthalpy change of the chemical reaction per unit time, size of the aperture, and the molar flow rate of reactant have been discussed for optimizing the efficiency of the system. The paper should be useful for the Technical Persons engaged in the generation of Ambient Power.
