Title: Characterization of spherical ceramic particles for solar thermal transfer media: A market survey

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/7197621· OSTI ID:7197621

Several candidates from a broad class of ceramic materials were evaluated for possible application as a solid thermal transfer medium in a high temperature solid particle solar receiver. This report documents the suppliers of the materials, the materials' characteristics, and comments regarding the suitability of each of the materials for solid thermal transfer media.
