The financial technology (Fintech) industry is often believed to have great promise for bringing about a more equitable and sustainable society. That is to say, effective use of this technology could help bridge the gap across the world's socioeconomic classes. However, up to now, the particular legislative frameworks (RegTech) that have been built for Fintech have made its adoption more challenging in addition to the general lack of faith in new technology. However, in order to consolidate Fintech, it is vital to create the right regulations that will make these novel technologies become standard components of our financial system. By focusing on the protections built into this fundamental right, the key challenge that must be overcome is the legal protection of personal data.

The sun is free, inexhaustible and available all over the world. The sun's rays can be used to produce energy in two ways. The first technique converts the sun's rays into electricity using photovoltaic panels, while the second converts the sun's rays into heat using concentrated solar power plants (CSP). Several studies have been carried out with the aim of improving the performance of these solar power plants in order to achieve high efficiency, which is the case in our study. In this work a numerical study was carried out on the effect of nanoparticles on the thermophysical properties of nanofluids with the aim of determining the most optimal nanofluid for use as a heat transfer fluid in concentrated solar power plants. The nanoparticles examined were metal oxides (SIO2, MgO and Fe3O4), which were dispersed in Therminol VP-1 and Syltherm 800. The thermophysical properties examined were density, thermal conductivity and heat capacity. To carry out this study, we set the temperature from 200 to 400°C at the same operating temperature as the concentrating solar power plant.After evaluating the effect of nanoparticles on the thermophysical properties, we studied the behaviour of the CSP plant based on nanofluids using SAM (System Advisor Model) software. The results obtained are very encouraging and show that the addition of nanoparticles to a base fluid improves its thermophysical properties compared with the pure base fluid, and the rate of improvement in thermal conductivity exceeds 9%. We also found that the nanofluid (Fe3O4 /Therminol Vp1) is the best selected for use as a heat transfer fluid in concentrated solar power plants with an efficiency and thermal energy produced equal to 40.87% and 588164 MWht, respectively.","PeriodicalId":29809,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Technology Innovations and Energy","volume":"24 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138971469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
