However, abrupt variations in solar radiation (<em>I</em>) due to weather changes can significantly affect the DSG performance and stable operation. In this work, PTC-DSG system's optical-thermal-flow-pattern transient coupling model is developed based on the Separated Flow model, Finite Volume method and Lagrangian method. The dynamic response of the loop's transient flow law and heat transfer performance under <em>I</em> step-variation are analyzed, and the correlation between the DSG system's transient flow characteristics and the multiple perturbation factors is discussed. The results reveal that adding (reducing) 12.5 % and 37.5 % of <em>I</em> shortens (lengthens) the evaporation phase by 7.2 % and 16.5 % (10.7 % and 16 %). The superheated zone has the greatest influence on the transient response characteristics and instability relative to the preheated and evaporated zones under various step-variations, and the heat transfer recovery still needs longer time after flow state is re-stabilized. Under <em>I</em> step-variation, adding mass flow can effectively shorten the superheat phase but not the response time, and the system instability range increases; Increasing inlet temperature (<em>T</em><sub><em>in</em></sub>) can augments the superheat zone, but effectively shorten the response time and regulate and improve the outlet steam quality; Raising inlet pressure not only reduces the evaporation phase, which is most favorable for heat transfer, but also requires longer re-stabilization time and increases the probability of stratified flow, which should be paid more attention.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":429,"journal":{"name":"Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells","volume":"279 ","pages":"Article 113250"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142529162","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To reduce the production cost and increase the production efficiency during the sawing process, the diameter of the diamond saw wire is becoming thinner, and the sawing speed is getting faster, which leads to an increasingly prominent problem of saw wire breakage during the slicing process. To understand the breaking characteristics of diamond saw wire and evaluate the reliability of the saw wire during the sawing process, the tensile testing of saw wires was carried out in this paper. And based on the Weibull function, the breaking force was analyzed statistically. A maximum tension force model for the saw wire during the sawing process was established. And based on the maximum tension force model and Weibull reliability function, the influence of various process parameters on the reliability of the wire web was analyzed. The results indicated that as the usage time of the saw wire increases, the breaking force gradually decreases and stabilizes. Compared to the fresh saw wire, the reliability of the used saw wires is significantly reduced. As the abrasive distribution density and the wire speed increases, the reliability of the wire web gradually increases. Conversely, as the feed speed and the pretension of the saw wire increase, the reliability of the wire web gradually decrease. The results of this paper provide a theoretical approach for assessing the reliability of diamond saw wire web during the sawing process.
