Cover Story: This study presents CFD thermal design and experimental test results for a multi-tubular solar reactor for hydrogen production, in a tower pilot plant in the Plataforma Solar de Almería (PSA). The CFD model developed was used for the thermal design of the solar reactor. The multi-tubular solar reactor was first built and tested. The experimental results were then used for the thermal characterization of the reactor and for CFD model validation. The multi-tubular solar reactor designed with the aid of CFD modelling and simulations has been built and operated successfully. View this paper.
