Abstract
The status of the Solar Central Receiver or Power Tower developments is briefly reviewed. with particular consideration given to the application of this technology to thermochemical hydrogen production. Emphasis is on the general considerations in the receiver-chemical reactor interface. High solar flux densities of 1.5–3 MW M −2 must be transformed to 50–100 kW M −2 for catalytic decomposition of sulfuric acid such as in the General Atomic (GA) water-splitting reactions. The different methods considered to accomplish such reactions include cavities, external heat pipe receivers, a falling curtain of particles, and other direct absorption media coupled to chemical reactions.
