Title: Review of current R and D in thermal energy storage and heat exchange in solar applications

Abstract

A survey of current research and development underway in all of the media and methods used for storing and transferring thermal energy is presented. The thermal energy storage and heat transfer methods discussed are innovative heat exchange and transport, advanced concept sensible heat storage in water, rock, earth or a combination of these, for either short term or for annual storage periods, heat storage in the energy of phase change, and heat storage in the energy of reversible chemical reactions. The material presented is organized in terms of the above categories and subcategories, with the specific R and D projects listed in alphabetical order under the name of the organization conducting the work. The name of the principal investigator is given in each case, together with a literature reference where available.
