A two-dimensional thermal analysis is performed to investigate the transient response and performance of a thermal heat storage module of a solar receiver, subjected to cyclical thermal loading in low-Earth orbit. The module is an annular region filled with lithium fluoride dispersed in a stainless steel honeycomb matrix. A He-Xe gas working fluid for a closed Brayton cycle engine flows through a tube at the center of the module where it is heated. The analysis used a modified volume-averaged homogeneous enthalpy method to predict the phase change of lithium fluoride in the annulus. The thermal cycle is composed of 60 minutes of solar exposure followed by a 30-minutes eclipse. A parametric analysis is performed which investigated the geometry and operation conditions for minimizing the size and mass of the module, while keeping the outlet gas temperature as uniform as possible throughout the flight orbit.
