Produktbeschreibung
Thermomechanics of Solar Receivers: Structural Materials, Components, and Systems brings together the latest knowledge in this advanced field, covering theoretical concepts, design methods, and applications, and offering potential routes to improved concentrated solar power (CSP) performance. The book begins by introducing solar receivers, their basic thermodynamics, and the characteristics of structural materials, before in-depth chapters examine key theoretical concepts, including stress and strain in structural materials, thermal buckling of materials and components, elastic structural deflection of components, thermal shock creep, fatigue, and structural failure. The second part of the book focuses on design methods, covering thermomechanical simulation, thermomechanical optimization, and structural design of solar receivers. A final section explores testing, cutting-edge applications, and challenges and opportunities in the advancement of solar receivers. This is a valuable resource for all those with an interest in solar receivers, concentrated solar power, and solar energy, including researchers, advanced students, faculty, scientists, engineers, R&D, and other industry professionals.
Autorenporträt
Dr. Amos Madhlopa is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Engineering at the Malawi University of Science and Technology. He has a PhD in Mechanical Engineering obtained from the University of Strathclyde, in the United Kingdom, and previously worked at the University of Cape Town, South Africa. With extensive research and teaching experience in sustainable energy engineering and solar technology, Dr. Madhlopa has published numerous journal articles, conference papers, and book chapters. He has also authored two books, one on solar gas turbines and the other on solar receivers, making him the first author to write a book on these topics. Dr. Madhlopa was awarded an 'Innovations for Development in Southern & Eastern Africa' in 2003 for developing a novel solar dryer with composite absorber systems, and a Newton Fellowship in 2009 to develop a dynamic model for solar stills with double slopes at the University of Strathclyde.
