Research abstract
In this proposal we introduce the approach of using metal matrix blocks impregnated with a solid phase polymer as"solid cryogenic energy storage and heat exchanger". Such blocks provide both the thermal conductivity required for rapid thermal conduction, as well as the thermal energy storage (with the polymer). In the Phase I work, we would compare the performance of the composite blocks introduced here to that of solid nitrogen, emphasizing the potential synergism between a fully solid thermal energy material embedded in a metal matrix and a heat exchanger that uses an un-filled region of the same metal matrix.
