Influencing Parameters Analysis of Solar Energy Regenerator Performance

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper studied the effect of running and structural parameters on solar energy regenerator performance, in which pebble was storage material. Comparing simulated values to tested values of outlet air temperature, good agreement was achieved, which proved the model was correct. Taking average regenerative power as target function, the simulated results showed that the larger inlet air temperature, the larger average regenerative power. The smaller void fraction, the larger average regenerative power. The larger cross section velocity, the larger average regenerative power.
