Model of the solar-driven reduction of cobalt oxide in a particle suspension reactor

•Particle suspension solar reactor for Co3O4 reduction proposed and modeled.•Thermal efficiency of particle suspension reactor is insensitive to particle mixing.•Thermal efficiency increases with volume fraction but only up to 2 × 10−4.•Tradeoff between energy loss from backscattering and emission/c...
