Solar Collector Thermal Power System. Volume 3. Basic Study and Experimental Evaluation of Thermal Train Components

Abstract

Basic studies and the experimental evaluation of thermal train components are collected. This includes the tests of subscale thermal energy storage capsules, the design, fabrication, and testing of the secondary heat pipe with its full scale thermal energy storage unit; the design, fabrication, and testing of subscale heat pipes for the evaluation of material compatibility; the design, fabrication, and testing of a subscale heat pipe with a cavity receiver; and a heat pipe wick study performed in support of the design of a second primary heat pipe and the subscale cavity heat pipe.
