title: Effect of surface radiative properties of a CO(2) sorbent particle on its interactions with high-flux solar irradiation.
abstract: A thermal transport phenomena model for the decomposition of a CO2sorbent particle under concentrated solar irradiation is used to evaluate four approximate engineering models for the surface radiative properties of the particle. The radiative property models are formulated by considering the solid-phase to be opaque or semi-transparent and the size of the surface features to be either smaller or larger than the incident irradiation wavelength. Time to complete decomposition of the particle and maximum surface temperature in simulations employing the four models differ by approximately 2% and 0.5%, respectively.
