Short description about the volume:

In the history of energy exploration, the significance of high-temperature solar thermal applications stands at the forefront of sustainable innovations. The book unfolds as a comprehensive tome, meticulously curated to guide scholars, researchers, and practitioners through the intricate interplay of solar dynamics and elevated temperature systems.

Divided into two distinct sections, the book commences with a thorough examination of fundamentals, charting the historical trajectory and relevance of high-temperature solar technologies. The first section, Fundamentals of Solar Thermo-Fluid Dynamics, scrutinizes essential facets, from solar radiation principles to the complexities of fluid dynamics and energy storage. The second section, Advanced Applications and Future Developments, propels the narrative into the future, dissecting innovations in collector designs, novel fluids, and emerging technologies that promise to reshape the landscape of high-temperature solar applications. Through the convergence of theory and application, this book sets the stage for an intense journey into sustainable energy advancement.

Researchers, engineers, and enthusiasts alike are invited to explore into the pages of Solar Thermo Fluids as it unfolds a roadmap towards a future where high-temperature solar thermal applications play a pivotal role in shaping a resilient and sustainable energy paradigm. By combining theoretical knowledge with practical applications, this book aims to inspire innovation and foster a deeper understanding of this exciting field.

The book primary aim is to bridge the conceptual and practical aspects of high-temperature solar thermal systems, providing a nuanced understanding of fundamental principles, cutting-edge technologies, and emerging trends. The foundational chapters establish the context with an insightful "Introduction to High-Temperature Solar Thermal Systems," followed by a detailed examination of solar radiation, concentration techniques, and thermodynamics. The significance of heat transfer, fluid dynamics, and materials selection in high-temperature environments is meticulously addressed, laying the groundwork for a deeper exploration of advanced applications and future developments. The book also addresses challenges specific to high-temperature solar applications and provides practical solutions to problems based on real-world case studies. The book aspires to provide a comprehensive reference with a worldwide perspective, appropriate emphasis on environmental considerations, and an examination of future perspectives and scope, thus offering both depth and breadth in the rapidly evolving field of solar thermo-fluid dynamics.
