Energy and exergy analyses of nanofluid-filled parabolic trough solar collector with acentric absorber tube and insulator roof
TL;DR: In this paper, an efficient parabolic trough solar collectors (PTSC) was designed with nanofluid numerically using the finite volume method and the results showed that using the novel PTSC leads to higher Nusselt number, energy efficiency, performance evaluation criteria, and outlet temperature for all studied Reynolds numbers.
