| Abstract | This research is a part of the DOE-funded SunShot project on “High Temperature Falling Particle Receiver.” Storing thermal energy using solid particulates is a way to mitigate the time of day dependency of concentrated solar power. Small particles may be stored easily, and can be used as a heat transfer medium to transfer heat to the power cycle working fluid through a heat exchanger. This study examines the physical characteristics of solid particulates of different materials kept inside large storage containers. Particle behavior at the expected high temperatures of the concentrated solar power cycle combined with the elevated pressure experienced within the storage container must be evaluated to assess the impact on their physical properties and ensure that the particles would not sinter thereby impacting flow through the system components particularly the receiver and heat exchanger. Sintering is a process of fusing two or more particles together to form a larger agglomerate. In the proposed concentrated solar power tower design, particles will experience temperatures from 600°C to 1000°C. The increase in temperature changes the physical characteristics of the particle, along with any impurities that could form particle to particle bonds. In addition, the hydrostatic pressure exerted on particles stored inside a storage unit increases the probability of sintering. Thus, it is important to examine the characteristics of particles under elevated temperatures and pressures. The experimental procedure involves heating particulates of a known mass and size distribution to temperatures between 600°C and 1000°C inside a crucible. As the temperature is held constant, the particulate sample is pressed upon by a piston pushing into the crucible with a known constant pressure. This process is repeated for different temperatures and pressures for varying lengths of time. The resulting particulates are cooled, and their size distribution is measured to determine the extent of sintering, if any, during the experiment. The particulates tested include various types of sand, along with alumina particles. The data from this experiment will allow designers of storage bins for the solid particulates to determine when significant sintering is expected to occur. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
