Estimation of extreme temperatures in direct solar methane pyrolysis within a porous medium by Hengrui Xu, Mostafa Abuseada, Y. Sungtaek Ju, R. Mitchell Spearrin, Timothy S. Fisher

“…By solving a two-dimensional heat transfer problem and applying an inverse optimization algorithm, we estimate the quasi-steady state spatial temperature distribution in a fibrous porous carbon substrate. The results are validated indirectly by experimentally measured graphite deposition and a simplified reaction kinetic model.…”
