The solar thermochemical decomposition of CH 4 is carried out in a solar reactor consisting of a cavity-receiver containing an array of tubular absorbers, through which CH 4 flows and thermally decomposes to H 2 and carbon particles. A reactor model is formulated by coupling radiation/convection/con
