REACTOR WITH SUSTAINABLE POWER GENERATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18179696 titled 'REACTOR WITH SUSTAINABLE POWER GENERATION
The system described in the patent application consists of a particle receiver, a heat exchanger, an electric generator, and a reactor. The particle receiver captures solar energy and transfers it to a heat transfer fluid, which is then used to heat a working fluid in the heat exchanger. The working fluid expands through the electric generator, generating electrical power. The reactor includes compartments and a heat transfer barrier to maintain a specified reaction temperature and convert reactants into products.
- The system captures solar energy efficiently and converts it into electrical power.
- The reactor maintains a specific reaction temperature to ensure the desired chemical conversion.
- The design allows for the continuous operation of the system with minimal energy loss.
- The integration of different components maximizes the overall efficiency of the system.
- The technology can be applied in various industries requiring sustainable energy solutions.

Original Abstract Submitted
A system includes a particle receiver, a heat exchanger, an electric generator, and a reactor. The particle receiver is configured to receive solar energy and transfer the solar energy to a heat transfer fluid. The heat exchanger is configured to transfer heat from the heat transfer fluid to a working fluid. The electric generator is configured to generate electrical power as the working fluid expands through the electric generator. The reactor includes a first compartment, a second compartment, and a heat transfer barrier. The heat transfer barrier is configured to transfer heat from the heat transfer fluid in the first compartment to the reaction feed stream in the second compartment, thereby maintaining an operating temperature of the reaction feed stream to at least a specified reaction temperature and converting at least one reactant in the reactant feed stream into at least one specified product.
