Researchers from CNR-INO, University of Cadiz, University of Rennes 1 and University of Reading demonstrated that nanofluids consisting of Pd nanoparticles dispersed in aromatic oil are very promising as volumetric solar absorbers and heat transfer fluids in next-generation parabolic-trough CSP plants.<\/p>\n
An extremely low concentration of Pd nanoplates (0.030 wt%) increases sunlight extinction by 90% after 20 mm propagation length and thermal conductivity by 23.5% at 373 K, arising in the increase of the overall system efficiency up to 45.3% and reducing pumping requirements by 20%.
\nIn addition, atomistic-level insights about the heat and momentum transfer in these nanofluids, gained by molecular dynamics simulations, disclose the role played by the solid\u2212liquid interface.<\/p>\n
