Characterization of Tin/Ethylene Glycol Solar Nanofluids Synthesized by Femtosecond Laser Radiation
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. (2016-11-22)Solar energy is available over wide geographical areas and its harnessing is becoming an essential tool to satisfy the ever-increasing demand for energy with minimal environmental impact. Solar nanofluids are a novel solar ... -
Finite element formulation to study thermal stresses in nanoencapsulated phase change materials for energy storage
Taylor & Francis (2020-03-09)Nanoencapsulated phase change materials (nePCMs) – which are composed of a core with a phase change material and of a shell that envelopes the core – are currently under research for heat storage applications. Mechanically, ... -
Influence of nanoparticle morphology and its dispersion ability regarding thermal properties of water used as phase change material
(2018-01-05)Nanoparticles with different morphologies were added to water to study if the morphology of the nanoparticles affects the main parameters of water used as phase change material (PCM). Considered morphologies were spherical, ... -
New coloured coatings to enhance silica sand absorbance for direct particle solar receiver applications
Elsevier (2020-06-30)New systems using solid particles for solar energy capturing, heat transfer and thermal energy storage have been proposed and analysed in direct particle solar receivers. In this work, black coloured silica sand was ... -
Non-linear finite element modelling of light-to-heat energy conversion applied to solar nanofluids
Elsevier (2020-07-19)Nanoparticles (NPs) exhibit remarkable photothermal conversion efficiency under optical illumination. This light-induced heating on NPs is interesting in many different applications, such as solar radiation absorption in ... -
Rheology of Solar-Salt based nanofluids for concentrated solar power. Influence of the salt purity, nanoparticle concentration, temperature and rheometer geometry
Elsevier (2018)Solar Salt-based nanofluids have attracted significant scientific interest in recent years due to their improved thermal properties, making them strong candidates as thermal energy storage materials and/or heat transfer ... -
Tribological Analysis and Operation Issues of SiO2 Nanolubricants for MQL Machining Operations
Trans Tech Publications (2023-10)Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) has been proved to be an efficient lubricant technique in machining that increases tool life, improves surface roughness, facilitates the recycling of the resulting chips, brings more ...
