Experimental and numerical investigation of direct absorption solar collectors (DASCs) based on carbon black nanofluids
Wei, Shihao; Espedal, Lisbeth; Balakin, Boris; Kosinski, Pawel Jan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Direct absorption solar collectors (DASCs) typically achieve high efficiency due to the volumetric heat absorption process facilitated by the working fluids. In this study, carbon black (CB) nanofluids were utilized as the ... -
Experimental study of hydrogen production using electrolyte nanofluids with a simulated light source
Wei, Shihao; Hikmati, Javad; Balakin, Boris; Kosinski, Pawel Jan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)In this research, we conducted water electrolysis experiments of a carbon black (CB) based sodium sulfate electrolyte using a Hoffman voltameter. The main objective was to investigate hydrogen production in such systems, ... -
Investigation of nanofluids in alkaline electrolytes: Stability, electrical properties, and hydrogen production
Wei, Shihao; Balakin, Boris; Kosinski, Pawel Jan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Utilizing solar energy efficiently and manufacturing hydrogen economically are the primary goals in the energy industry. In this paper, we present a novel method to solve both issues by exploiting the electrolysis of ... -
Numerical investigation of direct absorption solar collectors based on carbon black nanofluids
Wei, Shihao; Balakin, Boris; Kosinski, Pawel Jan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)A novel model of a rectangular direct absorption solar collector (DASC) based on carbon black (CB) nanofluids for concentrated solar power is presented herein. Distributions of temperature, velocity, volume fraction of ...
