The Influence of the Cu-Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> Ratio of the Receiving Tube in a 50 MW Hybrid Solar Plant

The Influence of the Cu-Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> Ratio of the Receiving Tube in a 50 MW Hybrid Solar Plant

Direct steam generation (DSG) is a promising technology for introducing solar energy into industrial applications, yet it still faces significant challenges. This work analyzes two critical issues associated with DSG: temperature gradients on the receiver tube wall caused by direct and concentrated...
