Nanofluid-based direct absorption of solar heat results in thermal efficiencies superior to conventional technology. In addition, convection nanofluid can be sustained pump-free the collector. this article, we study an aqueous magnetic capable establish photothermal a lab-scale collector equipped with solenoid. The consisted 60-nm Fe2O3 particles dispersed distilled water at concentration range...

Energy and exergy (EnE) efficiencies are considered the most important parameters to compare performance of various thermal systems. In this paper, an analysis was carried out for EnE a flat plate solar collector (FPSC) using four different kinds nanofluids as flowing mediums, namely, Al2O3/water, MgO/water, TiO2/water, CuO/water, compared with water medium (traditional base fluid). The made na...

In the present paper, the flow and heat transfer of two types of nanofluids, namely, silver-water and silicon dioxide-water, were theoretically analyzed over an isothermal continues stretching sheet. To this purpose, the governing partial differential equations were converted to a set of nonlinear differential equations using similarity transforms and were then analytically solved. It was found...

Heat pipe solar collectors (HPSCs) are heat exchangers that carry based on the phase change of working fluid. It is aimed to increase operating temperature range by changing fluid in at low temperature. For this reason, it has become widespread use nanofluids obtained mixing nanosized metal oxides with base certain proportions order both thermal conductivity fluids and specific closures. The ma...

Nanofluid is increasingly adopted in solar collectors as they play a significant role enhancing the heat transfer process. In this study, 3D numerical simulation of nanofluid-based photovoltaic/thermal (N-PV/T) system with MXene nanofluid fluid, was conducted using finite volume method (FVM). A feasibility analysis performed on proposed N-PV/T system. Enviro-economic also from an energy and exe...

Different kinds of nanofluids show peculiar characteristics. In this work, a mixed nanofluid consisting of single-wall carbon nanohorns and silver nanoparticles aqueous suspensions is prepared and optically characterized, in the perspective to merge the favorable optical characteristics of carbon nanohorn-based nanofluids to the good thermal properties of silver-nanofluids. For the samples, bot...

in this paper, the measurement of the viscosity of zno in ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, mixture of ethylene glycol and water (60:40 by weight), and a mixture of propylene glycol and water (60:40 by weight) and the thermal conductivity in ethylene glycol and propylene glycol as base fluids in the range of temperature from 25 ºc to 60 ºc are investigated. the results indicate that as the tem...
