Nanofluids effects on the evaporation rate in a solar still equipped with a heat exchanger
Omid Mahian,Ali Kianifar,Saeed Zeinali Heris,Dongsheng Wen,Dongsheng Wen,Ahmet Z. Sahin,Somchai Wongwises +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of a solar still equipped with a heat exchanger using nanofluids has been studied both experimentally and theoretically through three key parameters, i.e., freshwater yield, energy efficiency and exergy efficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI
Entropy generation during Al2O3/water nanofluid flow in a solar collector: Effects of tube roughness, nanoparticle size, and different thermophysical models
TL;DR: In this article, an analytical study is performed on the entropy generation and heat transfer due to nanofluid flow in a flat plate solar collector, and the results are presented for constant mass flow rates ranging from 0.1 to 0.8 kg/s.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental investigation on the thermal efficiency and performance characteristics of a flat plate solar collector using SiO2/EG– water nanofluids
TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of a flat plate solar collector with SiO2/ethylene glycol (EG) nanofluid with volume fractions up to 1% was investigated.
