A one-dimensional dynamic simulation model of the porous ceramic foam air receiver for solar power tower was established on Dymola. Rosseland radiation model and air properties variation with temperature and pressure were considered in this model. Modelica language was used in programming
which can solve the Algebraic Differential Equations automatically. The heat transfer between air flow and ceramic foam in the air receiver was studied. The influence on the temperatures of air and absorber
the time needed to reach steady
brought by the input radiation power
the thickness and average cell size of ceramic foam were analyzed.
