The objective of the study was to evaluate diverse and known types of heat transfer fluids (water, oil and glycerin) commonly used in solar thermal systems, in this work denoted as base fluids, with respect to them, but with the addition of biosynthesized metal nanoparticles. It was considered a prototype of solar heating systems by thermosiphon in the application-experimental phase assisted by halogen light (with wavelengths ranging from deep infrared to violet). The process of biosynthesis or green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (NP Ag) was from the precursor of silver nitrate (AgNO3) and using as a reducer the alcoholic extract from agroindustrial residues of the wine production, obtaining colloids with high monodispersity and with sizes between 30 and 40 nm. (spherical geometry). The results suggest a greater increase in heat absorption capacity when biosynthesized silver nanoparticles are added to the oil, which managed to have a heat capacity of 3519.41 J/kg°C.
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.
