This report discusses the delivery, results and conclusion of an investigation into the thermal and physical properties of quartzite rock for use as the storage media in an electrically-charged, air-based packed-bed system.
Report extract
To experimentally verify the thermophysical properties of a filler material (quartzite) that can be utilised for high temperature thermal storage. The characterised material is intended to be utilised as the storage media in an electrically-charged, air-based packed bed system to be demonstrated at UniSA.
