Abstract:We have numerically studied the heat transfers in a Cylindrical-parabolic concentrator using a nanofluid as heat transfer fluid for its use in Solar Thermodynamics. After an analysis of the work relating to solar concentrators and nanofluids, we have, after having described our physical system and posed working hypotheses, written the equations which govern the transfers in our collector. The latter as well as the associated boundary conditions were then dimensionless in order to generalize the problem and rev… 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.
