Purdue University is proposing a tungsten-ceramic zirconium carbide heat exchanger to increase the efficiency of solar-thermal electricity generation. Solar-thermal generation – where sunlight is focussed onto structures that absorb it as heat, which is then used to drive turbine-style generators – is proposed as an alternative to photo-voltaic generation, with the particular advantage that heat ...
