Synthesis and Characterization of Mechanical Behavior and Thermal Shock Resistance of Macro-Porous SiC Solar Absorber

Abstract

The concentrated solar power (CSP) is one of the renewable energy sources in which solar irradiation heat energy will be used in a steam turbine to generate electrical grid. Solar radiation is absorbed by a solar receiver reactor on the surface of a porous solar absorber. In this survey, synthesis and mechanical/thermal characterization of micro-porous silicon carbide (SiC) absorber to be used in solar reactor is carried out. SiC foams were synthesized and categorized based on three different pore sizes * :يكينورتكلا تسپ ،تابتاكم لوئسم : hrjazi@cc.iut.ac.ir D ow nl oa de d fr om ja m e. iu t.a c. ir at 6 :2 8 IR D T o n W ed ne sd ay M ar ch 2 5t h 20 20
