Article: Research conducted at Niigata University has updated our knowledge about solar engineering.

According to a study from Niigata, Japan, "The molten-salt tubular absorber/reformer (MoSTAR) project aims to develop a novel type of ''double-walled'' tubular absorber/reformer with molten-salt thermal storage at high temperature for use in solar natural-gas reforming and solar air receiver, and to demonstrate its performances on the sun with a 5 kW(t) dish-type solar concentrator. The new concept of double-walled reactor tubes is proposed for use in a solar reformer by Niigata University, Japan, and involves packing a molten/ceramic composite material in the annular region between the internal catalyst tube and the exterior solar absorber wall."

"This solar ...
