Abstract: The present invention describes an improved multilayer solar selective coating useful for solar thermal power generation. Solar selective coating of present invention essentially consists of Ti/Chrome interlayer, two absorber layers (AlTiN and AlTiON) an anti-reflection layer (AlTiO). Coating deposition process uses Ti and Al as the source materials, which are abundantly available and easy to manufacture as sputtering targets for industrial applications. The present invention allows deposition of all the layers in a single sputtering chamber on flat and tubular substrates with high absorptance and low emittance, thus making the process simpler and cost effective. The process of the present invention can be up-scaled easily for deposition on longer tubes with good uniformity and reproducibility. The coating of the present invention also displays improved adhesion, UV stability, corrosion resistance and stability under extreme environments.

Abstract: Described herein are a method, system, and computer readable medium for estimating a diffusion potential (such as temperature) of a diffusive property (such as thermal energy, referred to herein as “heat”). The method includes modeling as a circuit a diffusion region having two subregions to which the diffusive property is introduced at different rates and through which the diffusive property linearly diffuses. The nodes of the circuit include a dividing node that divides branches of the circuit that model the two subregions. A circuit potential at one of the nodes of the circuit corresponds to the diffusion potential at a location within the diffusion region. The diffusion potential at the location within the diffusion region is estimated by simulating operating of the circuit and determining the circuit potential at the node of the circuit.
