Jarvinen, P. O.

The application of ceramic materials to high temperature solar receivers for advanced Brayton and advanced Stirling thermal electric systems is discussed. Conceptual designs for ceramic cavity receivers employing impingement jet-cooled, dome-shaped silicon carbide heat exchanger modules are offered. Optical, mechanical, heat transfer and structural analyses of this novel receiver approach are presented.
