On thermal problems of the solar thermal multigeneration: new nanomaterials and working fluids

Abstract

The study considers various thermophysical problems, including the processes of heating new nanomaterials and nanofluids, as applied to solar thermal multigeneration (steam generation and turbine and turbineless conversion into electrical energy), as well as thermoelectric generation (solar thermoelectric generation) using new nanomaterials, including graphene and its composites. The main unsolved problems of thermohydrodynamics and heat transfer in such systems are noted.
