TL;DR: In this paper, a review of advancements made in the field of solar thermal technology with a focus on techniques employed for its performance enhancement is presented, including geometrical modifications on the absorber plate, solar selective coatings and nanofluids.

TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental investigation has been made to compare the flow boiling characteristics of deionized water in three different configurations of microchannels, namely, uniform cross-section, diverging cross-sections and segmented finned channels.

TL;DR: The literature on clad failure has been broadly categorized under the headings LOCA and RIA as discussed by the authors, where the failure mechanisms like creep, corrosion and pellet-cloth interaction have been discussed in details.

TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental investigation has been carried out to investigate pool boiling heat transfer characteristics of segmented finned (SF) microchannels structured surface and compare its performance with that of uniform cross-section (UCS) structural surface and plane surface.

TL;DR: A plethora of investigations on hydrogen embrittlement has already been reported in the literature as discussed by the authors, however, the results of these investigations are highly scattered with contradictory outcomes, and the present article attempts to succinctly summarize relevant research works in order to develop simplistic and coherent understanding of this complex phenomenon, apart from highlighting the thrust areas which require further investigations.
