Abstract
⺠Nanofluids (nanoparticles in water) as solar thermal harvesting mediums. ⺠Ag, graphite best in experimental results. ⺠High localized temperature gradients seen - above 1,000,000 °C/m. ⺠Volumetric boiling - low heat transfer coefficients vs. surface boiling ⺠High potential for solar direct, volumetric systems.
