Thermal performance analysis of a thermocline storage tank with integrated annular distributors

The implementation of single-tank thermocline storage systems in concentrating solar power systems is a promising solution to improve their stability and continuity. However, flow uniformity within the tank is crucial for achieving optimal thermal efficiency. Distributors have been used to homogeniz...
