Abstract Thermal energy storage has become an integral part of Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) plants to guarantee continuous supply of power demand. For cost-effective solar power generation, the size and operating temperatures of CSP plants should be increased. Thermochemical energy storage (TCES) is the only available solution to meet energy density and high-temperature requirements. Air is mostly used as Heat Transfer Fluid (HTF) for high-temperature CSP plants. For the air-based system, metal redox reactions are good candidates as storage reactant. Application of metal oxide gas-solid redox reaction in storage systems requires an efficient reactor design. Cost-effectiveness and simplicity have made packed bed reactors a viable candidate for high-temperature applications. The high-pressure drop along the bed is the main drawback of such reactors preventing them from widespread applications. Split flow design modification could aid in reducing pressure drop while providing more flexibility in reactor performance control. A cylindrical split-flow packed bed reactor with an annulus for HTF flow is considered as a modified reactor design. The transient two-dimensional axisymmetric numerical model is developed for solving mass, momentum, and energy equations for both gas and solid phases using suitable reaction kinetics for the cobalt oxide redox reaction. A parametric study is performed on cylindrical-shaped split-flow reactor design as a basis for future optimization for complete storage cycle. The effect of split flow ratio and side-channel width on reactor performance are considered. It is shown that both parameters could be used effectively to design and optimize the reactor.

Expression have been derived in the paper for all four possible transfer functions between the inlet and the outlet gas and liquid steams under the counter-current absorption of a poorly soluble gas in a packed bed column. The transfer functions have been derived for the axially dispersed model with stagnant zone in the liquid phase and the axially dispersed model for the gas phase with interfacial transport of a gaseous component (PDE - AD). calculations with practical values of parameters suggest that only two of these transfer functions are applicable for experimental data evaluation.

Gas phase back mixing has been measured in a column packed with vertical expanded metal sheet under the counter-current flow of gas and liquid by the static method using a tracer. The observed experimental concentration profiles has not confirmed our earlier proposed model of back mixing, based on the concentration profiles in absorption runs. These profiles do not even conform with the axially dispersed plug flow model currently used to describe axial mixing in packed bed columns. The concentration profiles may be described by a combination of the axially dispersed plug flow model with back flow.
