Jarvinen, P. O.

Ceramic receivers for advanced solar Brayton and advanced solar Stirling thermal power systems are considered which utilize impingement jet cooled silicon carbide ceramic dome heat exchanger modules in conjunction with a cavity receiver geometry to heat a pressurized gaseous heat transfer fluid to temperatures in the range from 1800 to 2400/sup 0/F. Conceptual designs of single and multiple-dome ceramic cavity receivers are presented and analyzed and a combined analytical and experimental program to develop a high temperature seal for the ceramic dome module is reported.
