Heat transfer analysis of porous media receiver with different transport and thermophysical models using mixture as feeding gas.

Highlights: [•] Using local thermal non-equilibrium model to solve heat transfer of porous media. [•] CH4/H2O mixture is adopted as feeding gas of porous media receiver. [•] Radiative transfer equation between porous strut is solved by Rosseland approximation. [•] Transport and thermophysical models not included in Fluent are programmed by UDFs. [•] Variations of model on thermal performance of porous media receiver are studied. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
