Abstract:Concentrated solar thermal (CST) technologies have been considered a promising solution to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. However, to make CST systems attractive to the international energy sector, their efficiency must be enhanced and low-cost manufacturing processes should be used. In this context, an innovative solar receiver for parabolic-dish solar concentrators is developed in this work, focusing on the improvement of the absorption capacity and heat transfer to the thermal fluid. To enhance solar ra… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
