Design and numerical simulation of a 45 kWel multi-source high-flux solar simulator as a heating source of dielectric materials positioned in a microwave characterization cavity

Résumé

Abstract This study reports the design and modelling of a high-flux solar simulator (HFSS) combined to a resonant cavity for microwave dielectric properties characterization of ceramics at very high temperatures. The HFSS comprises seven xenon arc lamps with ellipsoidal reflectors, delivering a maximal electrical power of 6.5 kW el each. Positioned on a virtual sphere of around 1600 mm radius, the lamps provide concentrated irradiation heating on a sample positioned inside the resonant cavity. The propagation of the lamp’s irradiation to the sample and the cavity is simulated using Monte Carlo ray tracing method. An ANSYS Fluent finite volume method for solving the resulting multimode heat transfer and flow indicate a radiative flux reaching 1.84 MW m −2 , and a sample temperature of approximately 1470°C with 10 % non-uniformity. These results suggest that the designed heating system and resonant cavity is suitable for conducting microwave dielectric properties characterization of refracting ceramic materials at high temperatures, addressing a gap in studies focusing on temperatures exceeding 1000°C.
