Nanoparticle dispersed deep eutectic solvents as low cost heat transfer fluid for concentrated solar power

Abstract

The current thesis explores Nanofluids using low cost Deep Eutectic Solvent DES as Heat Transfer Fluid HTF primarily for Concentrated Solar Power CSP In order to enhance the thermal properties of DES or base fluids the Nanoparticle Dispersed Deep Eutectic Solvents NDDES were prepared by adding nanoparticles Al2O3 spherical Al2O3 cylindrical and h BN hexagonal at different weight percent The stability and the thermophysical properties namely density viscosity thermal conductivity...
