- Additional information
- This research was funded by the European Project CSP2 involving several European universities and companies. The main objective was proposing an alternative to current heat transfer fluids for concentrating solar power plants that can operate in a wide range of temperatures. The non-invasive positron emission particle tracking technique was used for the first time to evaluate the importance of the particle motion and hydrodynamics on the efficiency of the process. This research led to a new follow up (SOLPART project) involving the scale up of the pilot system and application in the cement industry to reduce CO2 emissions.
