Harnessing Concentrated Solar Power for Industrial Heat Applications

Concentrated solar power (CSP) has been gaining significant attention in recent years as a viable alternative to conventional fossil fuel-based energy generation. This technology, which uses mirrors or lenses to concentrate sunlight onto a small area, can generate high temperatures that can be harnessed for various applications, including electricity production and industrial heat. As industries …

Published at the Journal of Energy Storage – A synthesis parameter of molten salt nanofluids for solar thermal energy storage applications

Abstract: Nanoparticle dispersions at a minute concentration in salt mixtures have recently been reported to significantly increase their specific heat capacity. However, there is a discrepancy between experimental results reported for the same kind of molten salt-nanoparticle mixtures by different research groups. From our literature survey, we learned that there is no standardized synthesis protocol …
