2. Estimate of envelope of performance of the STMS system using the confined Tornado flow configuration for reactor window protection By room temperature testing we have determined that for a reactor of the size of our SR10 prototype, transition from laminar to turbulent flow occurs at a gas flowrate of 20 l/min, corresponding to an Ekman number E= 3.413 x 10 -5 . By raising the reaction temperature to 2000K, the gas kinematic viscosity goes up by a factor of 25. The transition to turbulent flow in the same reactor at 2000K will occur at a gas flowrate of 20 x 25 = 500 l/min. By the CET computer program, the Methane Splitting reaction at 2000K requires an energy supply of 3.62 KW/(mol CH4, 298 K/min) At the limit of the envelope of performance of our system we may process
The above calculation is approximate since we did not account for the energy absorbed by non reacting gas (He, N2) that flows through the reaction chamber. An experimental solar test of the capacity (~80 Kw) cannot be performed with our present imaging optics system (one heliostat + secondary concentrator). Dr A. Segal performed ray tracing calculations for a non-imaging optical system which concentrates the radiation from a cluster of 8 heliostats that deliver their partly concentrated solar radiation to the entrance of an appropriate CPC, as described in the tables following. The cost of the requisite CPC is estimated as $30 000 and certain changes in the reactor design will entail an additional expenditure of up to $5 000. The total estimated expenditure for the erection of the upscaled modular STMS unit is: $ 69 277 30 000 5 000 $ 104 277
