Composite Material Structures for Thermophotovoltaic Conversion Radiator.

Abstract

This report covers the experimental work on the testing and evaluation of disk-shaped erbium oxide radiator samples fabricated by die pressing and plasma spray coating techniques. This investigation was performed to provide performance parameters on the utilization of these specimen structure compositions as improved radiator structures for thermophotovoltaic energy conversion applications.
