Comparative Analysis of Heat Transfer Characteristics of Conical Cavity Receivers With Different Heat Transfer Fluids
To explore the influence of heat transfer fluids on the heat transfer characteristics of solar receivers
the heat transfer characteristics of conical cavity receivers with supercritical CO
2
and compressed air as heat transfer fluids were compared and analysed by combining ray tracing and computational fluid dynamics method. Based on numerical simulation
the effects of cone angle
fluid inlet mass flow rate and inlet temperature on heat transfer performance of receivers were discussed. The results show that under the same working conditions
the outlet temperature of compressed air is higher than that of supercritical CO
2
but the corresponding receiver thermal efficiency and system photothermal conversion efficiency are lower. For the two heat transfer fluids
the system photothermal conversion efficiencies reach the optimal values with the cone angle of 4.12°. In the range of operating parameters studied
the outlet temperature of heat transfer fluids increase linearly with the increase
of inlet temperature. Once the mass flow rate exceeds 0.04 kg/s
increasing the mass flow rate has little effect on improving the photothermal conversion efficiency of the system.
