Abstract: Solar thermal energy systems are future sustainable solutions for both domestic as well as industrial use. Solar thermal systems, operating in medium temperature range (373–673 K), require concentrated solar thermal heating ...

Abstract: The turbulent flow of binary hybrid nano-oils is investigated and Nusselt number correlation is developed for futuristic concentrated solar thermal application. Available Nusselt number correlations for water-based hybrid ...

Abstract: Electricity and gas-based heat treatment of metal is an energy-intensive process. To mitigate the use of such high-grade energy, the concept of an open volumetric air receiver-based solar convective furnace (SCF) system ...

Abstract: The concentrated solar thermal systems, operating in the medium temperature range of 373–573 K, will be extremely useful for several industrial processes. However, the need for an in-depth understanding of the turbulent ...

Abstract: Steady-state and transient behaviors of single-phase natural circulation loop (SPNCL) are investigated using four thermal oils (Therminol VP1, Paratherm CR, Dowtherm A, and Dowtherm Q) and water-based ternary hybrid (various ...
