Optimizing Thermal Energy Storage in Solar Power Systems using Molten Salt Nanofluid: A Molecular Dynamics Perspective

Abstract

This study presents a molecular dynamics perspective on optimizing thermal energy storage in solar power systems through the utilization of molten salt nanofluids. Molecular dynamics simulations were employed to investigate the dynamic behavior of nanoparticles within the molten salt matrix, exploring their impact on heat transfer efficiency and thermal stability. The results offer valuable insights into the molecular-level interactions, dispersion, and thermal properties of the nanofluid, contributing to the development of more efficient and sustainable solar power technologies.
