Lie very still at the bottom of Ikea's ball pit wearing the face mask of a famous Swede (Kurt Wallander, Ingmar or Ingrid Bergman, any of Abba or my favourite, Detective Saga Norén from The Bridge).
In the project WESPE that is described in this paper, solid media sensible heat storage materials have been researched.
A binary nitrate salt, widely used in liquid phase as sensible heat storage media in high temperature solar plants (solar salt), has been selected as PCM.
For parabolic trough power plants using synthetic oil as the heat transfer medium, the application of solid media sensible heat storage is an attractive option regarding investment and maintenance costs.
Despite the potential economic advantage, the capacity of thermocline tanks to store sufficient amounts of high-temperature heat is limited by the low energy density of the constituent sensible-heat storage media.
The sensible reaction, as a media consumer, is to demand better of it and to do better by it.
As most sensible commentators understand, old media are integrated into the new in a fairly seamless transition process which will ensure that many millions of people are still tucking into their folding dead trees in 20 years time.

But it makes no sense to hide those two sensible features under social media, ESPN and complex retailer relationships that keep digital prices high.
A concept for thermal energy storage (TES) in concrete as solid media for sensible heat storage is proposed to improve the cost and efficiency of solar thermal electricity (STE) plants.
