Thermal and mechanical stresses in bayonet tubes of solar central receivers working with molten salt and liquid sodium

One of the most promising technologies for solar thermal power are solar power towers (SPTs), in which direct solar radiation is redirected by heliostats to a receiver located on top of a tower. The technology used by SPT allows obtaining high thermal efficiencies as well as a high number of hours o...
