Optimization of nanofluid volumetric receivers for solar thermal energy conversion

Improvements in solar-to-thermal energy conversion will accelerate the development of efficient concentrated solar power systems. Nanofluid volumetric receivers, where nanoparticles in a liquid medium directly absorb solar radiation, promise increased performance over surface receivers by minimizing...
