“…However, while it is a dramatic geometrical approximation, it has been shown to agree well with experimental data when characterising porous ceria for STRS applications (Dombrovsky et al, 2012;Ganesan et al, 2013a). Simulations of effective radiative transfer (isolated from mass, momentum and other forms of energy transfer) motivated by STRS design have been carried out in conjunction with spectrophotometry set-ups to obtain effective radiative properties for packed beds and porous materials made of ceria (Dombrovsky et al, 2012;Ganesan et al, 2013a,b), zinc oxide (Coray et al, 2009;Schunk et al, 2009b), and a mixture of particles (Jäger et al, 2009).…”
