Convective loss measurements at the 10 MW/sub e/ Solar Thermal Central Receiver Pilot Plant

Convective loss measurements at the 10 MW/sub e/ Solar Thermal Central Receiver Pilot Plant [electronic resource]

Experiments were performed at the 10 MW/sub e/ Solar Thermal Central Receiver Pilot Plant to measure the convective heat transfer from the receiver. Determining the convective loss will help reduce the uncertainty in the calculation of thermal efficiency for solar central receivers. Two types of res...
