Conditions

  • for an ideal solar thermochemical process the heat-to-work (exergy) factor is bounded by 1 − T_L/T_H, with T_H the receiver/process temperature and T_L the heat-rejection reservoir, usually the environment; T_L is not in general the re-oxidation temperature; the receiver absorption efficiency multiplies this factor

Related matrix context

This claim does not itself create a matrix cell. The context below belongs to Thermochemical redox cycle, the phenomenon it is about.

D = disequilibrium row · C = coupling family column. A cell reads the state of the atlas for that pair.
