Abstract

Solar thermochemical processes make use of concentrated solar radiation as the energy source of high-temperature, which drives endothermic reactions aimed at the production of chemical fuels. In this paper, the main objective is to study the effect of various parameters on the working of thermochemical reactor. The parameters which are studied here are porosity, velocity and length of the porous material. The results from these parameters concluded that high porosity enhances the working of thermochemical reactor and velocity must be kept low for the better results.
