Experimental testing and heat transfer analysis of a novel iris-driven solar cavity receiver KU Leuven
Fossil fuel depletion and climate change have been the primary foundation for finding alternatives to conventional industrial processes. Concentrated solar technologies have therefore been considered as a viable route. The processes involved in these technologies use concentrated solar energy to sustain the endothermic dissociation reaction or thermochemical cycles inside a solar reactor which leads to the production of solar fuels and ...
Spikes and Striae as a Fine Structure of the Solar Decameter Radiation KU Leuven
The present thesis is devoted to observations and analysis of fine structured solar radio burstsat decameter wavelengths.
The observations of the Sun exploit the entire electromagnetic spectrum including its optical, radio, X-ray, gamma ranges, etc. Among these the observations in the radio range turns out to be an important tool for the remote determination of the solar coronal parameters and the processes that occur in it at different ...
Solar wind modeling: global MHD to kinetic treatments. KU Leuven
In the present work we use analytical and computational methods in order to examine different dynamical scales in the solar atmosphere and the solar wind.
The latter represents the expansion of the atmosphere to large radial distances, further than the Earth's orbit.
After the introduction presented in chapter 1, we start our analysis with investigating and presenting potential force-free field extrapolations based on observational ...
Agrivoltaics: optimizing the synergy of crop production and solar panels KU Leuven
Sustainable crop production and the continued profitability of agriculture in Europe are increasingly perceived as two opposing goals. The desire to continue traditional farming while reducing chemical inputs and fossil energy consumption brings with it many challenges. Also, the changing climate challenges agriculture in many new ways: jeopardizing harvests, pressuring growers to adopt new management practices or changing cropping systems ...
