Abstract

In this thesis, two different projects are reported in two chapters. The first chapter describes solar steam generation by heat localization method. Herein, we worked towards the generation of high pressure steam using heat localization which can be used in small scale power generation units. The development of the corresponding material structure used in the generation of steam has also been reported in this chapter. The second chapter illustrates the thermal management of high temperature system with suppression of Leidenfrost phenomena. Here, we report a material paradigm which increases the Leidenfrost point (LFP) substantially compared to other state of the art approaches and we also substantiate the corresponding theoretical results with simulations and experimental results.
