A two-step cycle is discussed for solar thermochemical energy storage based on particulate aluminum-doped calcium manganite reduction/oxidation reactions for direct integration into Air Brayton cycles. The two steps encompass 1) the storage of concentrated solar irradiation within endothermic reduction of aluminum-doped calcium manganite and 2) the delivery of heat to an Air-Brayton cycle via exothermic re-oxidation of oxygen-deficient aluminum-doped calcium magnanite. A 5 kW_th scale solar thermochemical reactor operating under vacuum was designed, modeled, and optimized to thermally reduce a continuous, gravity-driven flow of aluminum-doped calcium manganite particles. The granular flows were characterized in a tilt-flow rig, and particle image velocimetry was used to determine flow properties via frictional and velocity scaling relationships. Flow properties were integrated into a detailed heat and mass transfer model of the solar thermochemical reactor. A reactor design with 31° inclination angle, 230 g/min of particles, and 5.2 kW_th radiative input from the high-flux solar simulator was discovered to produce an outlet flow temperature of 1158 K, with stoichiometric deviations of 0.076 and a storage efficiency of 0.628 while avoiding particle overheating and promoting longer particle residence times.
