Abstract:This research examines the effect of using Bayburt stone or basalt as an energy storage unit in SCPPs. The effect of using low-cost materials on the system performance is evaluated. Based on the Manzanares pilot plant (MPP), a 3D CFD model was created. Geometric parameters were kept constant in simulations performed with ANSYS FLUENT engineering commercial software. In addition to DO (discrete coordinates) for the radiation model, the solar ray-tracing algorithm (SRTA) and the RNG k-e turbulence model (RNGTM) … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
