Helical Fins for Concentrated Solar Receivers: Design Optimization and Entropy Analysis
Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) with Thermal Energy Storage (TES) has the potential to achieve grid parity. This can be realized by operating CSP systems at temperatures above 700 °C with high-efficiency sCO2 power cycles. However, Operating CSP systems at such temperatures pose several challenges, among which the design of solar receivers to accommodate increased thermal loads is critical. To this end, this work explores and optimizes various swirl-inducing internal fin designs for solar receiver tubes. These fin designs not only improve the thermal performance of receiver tubes but also levelize temperature unevenness caused by non-uniform thermal loading. In this work, the geometric parameters of the fin designs are optimized to maximize the Nusselt number with a constraint on the friction factor. This optimization, however, is computationally intensive, requiring hundreds of simulation calls to Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models. To circumvent this problem, surrogate models are used to approximate the simulation outputs needed during the optimization. In addition, this study also examines the fin designs from an entropy generation perspective. To this end, the entropy contributions from thermal and viscous effects are quantitatively compared while varying the operational Reynolds number.
