“…Furthermore, the optimization of both nanoparticle size and shape, along with the careful selection of suitable surfactants, are essential factors that must be considered to attain consistent performance. In [35], a thorough evaluation of solar collectors equipped with three different cavity receivers (hemispherical, cubic, and cylindrical) was conducted. This evaluation investigated MXene/soybean oil nanofluids employing both numerical models and experimental studies.…”

MXene-based nanofluids are important because of their thermal and rheological properties, influencing scientific and industrial applications. MXenes, made of titanium carbides and nitrides, are investigated for nanofluid enhancement. This review covers MXene nanofluid creation, characterization, and application. To produce nanoscale MXene particles, two-dimensional materials are dissolved and dispersed in a base fluid. The stability and efficacy of MXene nanofluids depend on production methods, such as chemical exfoliation, electrochemical etching, and mechanical delamination. Improved heat transfer coefficients and thermal conductivity from MXene nanofluids help resolve heat transfer, energy efficiency, and thermal control problems. This extensive review also addresses long-term safety and the necessity for standardized characterization methodologies, helping researchers optimize MXene-based nanofluids in many technological fields

“…Hazra et al [60] have investigated the thermal characteristics of hexagonal boron nitride-based nanofluids for solar collector application. Aslfattahi et al [61] have reported the mean thermal efficiency of MXene-based nanofluid in a solar dish collector. Approximately 15% exergy efficiency was recorded by Said et al [62] in a parabolic trough solar collector using MXene-based silicone oil nanofluid.…”

2D nanomaterials-based heat transfer fluids show excellent thermal properties due to their large specific surface area; hence, they find large-scale applications in automobile industries and cooling processes. Therefore, it is very essential to study the environmental and economic aspects of these 2D nanomaterial-based nanofluids. In this review, we have discussed the environmental impact of 2D nanomaterial-based heat transfer nanofluids under various conditions. The environmental impact analysis of these materials has shown excellent capability in reducing the energy consumption for heat transfer operations. Moreover, the possibility of nanomaterials and base fluid recovery makes it a sustainable alternative. In addition, health risk assessment on humans, cytotoxicity, and life cycle analysis have also been explored. The price-performance index has been successfully used to study the economic impact of 2D nanomaterial-based heat transfer fluids. The overall economic impact of 2D nanomaterial-based heat transfer nanofluids provides an optimistic perspective over conventional heat transfer fluids. Moreover, graphene production, market trend, and commercialization obstacles were also discussed.

“…The thermal and exergetic efficiency of the conical receiver was better than the cylindrical receiver. Aslfattahi et al 92 numerically investigated cylindrical, cubical, and hemispherical type cavity tube receivers using soybean oil-based MXene nanofluid. The authors reported that the MXene nanofluid resulted in increased density and specific heat capacity of HTF, whereas the other nanofluids in the literature increase only the density.…”

The innovation in concentrated solar power (CSP) systems is one of the many vital solutions to meet the ever-increasing global energy demands. Among various CSP systems, point focus solar concentrators can attain a higher concentration ratio and helps reduce the size of the receiver, resulting in higher operating temperatures, lower thermal losses, and higher system exergy. This article presents a review on a particular class of CSP systems known as stationary point focus solar concentrators, that is, point focus solar concentrators having a stationary receiver. They can be categorized as (a) Scheffler reflector, (b) Scheffler-type concentrator, (c) high temperature concentrator, (d) central tower receiver, and (e) CNRS solar furnace. Having a stationary receiver helps reduce the maintenance and simplifies the plumbing network for heat transfer fluid. However, low maintenance might be a tradeoff on the performance side. This review systematically collates the literature on stationary point focus solar concentrators. Also, the basics of solar angles and various solar tracking systems applicable to this class of CSP systems are covered.
