Numerical simulation and irreversibility analysis of nanofluid flow within a solar absorber duct equipped with a novel turbulator

This research presents an innovative alteration to the solar collector's design by integrating a 4-lobed tube with helical tape. The choice of a working fluid, a combination of water and alumina nanoparticles, is purposeful, aiming to reduce irreversibility. Extensive numerical simulations, alo...
