Mortar with Solar Salts for Experiment on Thermal Stability and Durability of Nanofluids in Solar Power Storage
Publication Highlights
- Solar salt nanofluids are characterized before and after a 90-day, 500°C corrosion test with 304H, 306L, AISI 1045, Inconel.
- The degradation, thermal stability, and durability of molten salt nanofluids under working conditions as TES materials for CSP plants are evaluated.
- Effect of corrosion products precipitated during the corrosion test on the physical and thermal properties of nanofluids.
- 316L stainless steel shows better performance in contact with solar salt-based nanofluids as a TES tank material.
- Nanofluids are presented as suitable for TES applications with stable and improved thermophysical properties in-service.
