Modelling and optimization of transparent parabolic trough collector based on gas-phase nanofluids

The Parabolic Trough Collector (PTC) is the most common type of high-temperature solar thermal technology, in which the heat transfer fluid is usually synthetic oil, molten salt or water/steam. Experiences in existing plants have shown some operating problems with all these types of fluid, which limit solar to thermal efficiency and increase power plant costs.
