Abstract
In that context, liquid metals are proposed in this work as advanced heat transfer fluids that can face those challenges. The main advantages, regarding higher temperature and improved heat transfer performance, are discussed and quantified using simplified models. Indirect thermal storage solutions are proposed for compensating their relatively small heat capacity. Overall, provided that some practical challenges can be overcome, liquid metals present large potential as efficient heat transfer fluids.
