Improve the performance of solar thermal collectors by varying the concentration and nanoparticles diameter of silicon dioxide

The influence of different concentrations and nanoparticles’ diameter of silicon dioxide nanoparticles on the Nusselt number enhancement ratio and friction factor for solar thermal collector (STC) was examined numerically. The CFD model was designed to show the influence of the flow of water/SiO2 an...
