Solar Energy Harvesting Using Nanofluids-Based Concentrating Solar Collector

Vikrant Khullar, +5 more
- 01 Aug 2012 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a nanofluid-based concentrating parabolic solar collector (NCPSC) has been theoretically modeled, and the governing equations have been numerically solved using finite difference technique.
Journal ArticleDOI

Harvesting solar thermal energy through nanofluid-based volumetric absorption systems

Vikrant Khullar, +6 more
- 01 Oct 2014 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantitatively compare nanoparticle dispersions [amorphous carbon nanoparticles dispersed in ethylene glycol and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) dispersed in distilled water] to conventional commercial materials (TiNOX® coated copper substrate) for their performance as selective solar absorbers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Experimental investigation of photo-thermal analysis of blended nanoparticles (Al2O3/Co3O4) for direct absorption solar thermal collector

Vishal Bhalla, +2 more
- 01 Aug 2018 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the photo-thermal analysis has been conducted with both surface absorption-based system (SAS) as well as blended nanofluid absorption based system (BNAS).
Journal ArticleDOI

Theoretical Analysis and Testing of Nanofluids-Based Solar Photovoltaic/Thermal Hybrid Collector

Siddharth Saroha, +7 more

Journal ArticleDOI

Limits of selectivity of direct volumetric solar absorption

Yasitha Hewakuruppu, +6 more
- 01 Apr 2015 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the fundamental limits of this concept as it pertains to nanofluid-based direct absorbing collectors were investigated, and a short wavelength optical depth of 3 was found to be sufficient for efficient absorption of solar radiation while scattering is minimised.
