Packed bed of ceramic as solar reactor for solar water splitting

The main objective of this study is to analyses numerically using finite volume method the conversion of solar radiation to thermal energy through a packed bed of ceramic in order to predict the thermal and flow behavior under different operational conditions (Inlet velocity, packing arrangement and...
