Corrosion of structural alloys in molten salts for solar thermal energy storage
Description
In this thesis, the compatibility of some structural alloys with the most recent high-temperature candidates as storage media (molten salts) to be used in thermal energy storage (TES) for the next generation of concentrating solar power (CSP) plants is investigated. This study endeavours to investigate the thermal and corrosive impacts of molten salts on commercial alloys by developing methods to measure and track the material degradation in contact with the corrosive medium. The role of material microstructure on corrosion and/or oxidation behaviour is studied and discussed in detail.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
Full-text downloads:
Full-text downloads displays the total number of times this work’s files (e.g., a PDF) have been downloaded from QUT ePrints as well as the number of downloads in the previous 365 days. The count includes downloads for all files if a work has more than one.
