Abstract
High-temperature solar thermal energy systems make use of concentrated solar radiation to generate electricity, produce chemical fuels, and drive energy-intensive processing of materials. Heat transfer analyses are essential for system design and optimisation. This article reviews the progress, challenges and opportunities in heat transfer research as applied to high-temperature solar thermal and thermochemical energy systems. The topics discussed include fundamentals of concentrated solar energy collection, convective heat transfer in solar receivers, application of liquid metals as heat transfer media, and heat transfer in non-reacting and reacting two-phase solid–gas systems such as particle–gas flows and gas-saturated porous structures.
