environmental/natural occurrences) and system operating parameters for various engine types. Preliminary receiver designs evolve from these system requirements. Specific receiver designs evaluated in this report to determine material functional requirements include the NRL solchem converter/heat exchanger, MIT/LL ceramic dome, Black and Veatch/EPRI ceramic tube receiver, and the Sanders honeycomb matrix Brayton receiver. This report covers the first phase of a continuing task of evaluation and reporting on high temperature ceramics for solar thermal receiver applications. Show Less
