Abstract

This molecular dynamic study delves into the integration of molten salt nanofluids as an
innovative approach to enhance thermal energy storage in solar power systems. Through detailed
simulations, we investigate the dynamic behavior of nanoparticles within the molten salt matrix,
focusing on nanoparticle dispersion, improvements in thermal properties, and the impact on
phase change behavior. The findings offer valuable insights into the nanoscale dynamics, paving
the way for optimized and efficient thermal energy storage in solar applications.
