The thermal evaluation of different absorber configurations for a volumetric solar receiver designed for a solar furnace has been carried out by means of commercial Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software in a 2D numerical model. Simulation results for proposed configurations depending on...

Volumetric solar receivers are used in solar power plants to convert concentrated solar radiation into high temperature heat to operate a thermal engine. In general, porous high temperature materials are used for this purpose. Since the pore geometry is important for the efficiency performance...

The paper researches the issues of how holistic, balanced and coordinated the development of enterprises and the implementation of large investments projects in energy industry, which define the future economies of the units of the Russian Federation, is.
