Abstract Transient and steady‐state characteristics of the natural circulation loop are studied using various water‐based tri‐hybrid (different nature shaped nanoparticles) nanofluids. Effects input power, inclination aspect ratio on mass flow rate, effectiveness, entropy generation rate studied. Results disclose that nanofluids reduce oscillation attain steady state faster than water. Effectiveness increases decreases by Nanoparticle shape has found a significant impact. Al 2 O 3 + Cu...
In Rajasthan, the received solar irradiation is high, however, dry and dusty atmosphere are issues for harnessing of energy. The high speed wind characteristic Rajasthan can initiate saltation process, which in turn removes carries dust from ground deposit on collecting surfaces, such as, heliostats. This reduces collection therefore overall efficiency concentrating thermal system. Dust deposition flat mirror plates depends various factors like heliostat field density, soil composition,...
Desert regions like Rajasthan and Gujarat in India receives abundant solar energy. At the same time these are blessed with dust or sand. Solar thermal systems one of ways to harness this available Open Volumetric Air Receiver based concentrated tower being investigated for applications, like, metal processing. The deposition on sub-systems heliostat, porous receiver will hinder smooth operation such a system. Considering fact, aspects absorber heliostat presented. In direction, experiments...
The current heat treatment processes make use of electricity or fuel for generating heat. Solar energy is available in abundance the states Rajasthan and Gujarat India. Annual global solar radiation about ≥2400 kWh/m2 received these regions. Use abundant thermal metals would saveenergy fuels. In view this a concept convective furnace system described paper. As starting point, aluminium considered. For system, requirements industrial are taken as basis.A scale-down retrofitted designed...
Heliostats are used for concentrating beam radiation onto a receiver. The flow induced dust deposition on these reflectors will lead to failure of the For this purpose, wake behind heliostat is analyzed at 25° inclination and Reynolds number 60000. In paper Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) Large Eddy Simulation (LES) approaches analyzing air-flow heliostat. LES RANS performed with wall-resolved grid. purpose validation, horizontal velocity measured in wind-tunnel model using laser Doppler...
