    Abstract: Reactors are provided that can include a first set of fluid channels and a second set of fluid channels oriented in thermal contact with the first set of fluid channels, either one or both of the first of the set of fluid channels are non-linear. Reactor assemblies can include a first set of fluid channels defining at least one non-linear channel having a positive function, and a second set of fluid channels defining at least another non-linear channel having a negative function in relation to the positive function of the one non-linear channel of the first set of fluid channels. Processes for distributing energy across a reactor are provided. Transporting reactants via a first set of fluid channels to a second set of fluid channels, and thermally engaging at least one of the first set of fluid channels with at least two of the second set of fluid channels.

    Abstract: A solar thermochemical processing system comprising an endothermic reactor receiving concentrated solar energy, using heat from the solar energy to drive the endothermic reactor wherein the endothermic reactor also receives a first set of reactants and produces a first set of products; an exothermic reactor for receiving the first set of products from the endothermic reactor and for producing a second set of products; and a vaporizer for receiving heat from the exothermic to produce a portion of the first set of reactants, wherein the exothermic reactor provides heat to the vaporizer and produces syngas and a liquid hydrocarbon product; wherein the syngas and the liquid hydrocarbon product are passed to a separator where the liquid hydrocarbon product is recovered, and components of the syngas are used to for at least one of the following purposes: to power a fuel cell and to provide heat for a heat engine through a combustion process.
