Investigations for effect of Al2O3–H2O nanofluid flow rate on the efficiency of direct absorption solar collector

The efficiency of conventional tube‐ in plate type solar collectors is limited due to higher heat losses for surface based solar energy absorption and indirect transfer of heat from hot absorber surface to working fluid having poor heat transfer properties flowing through tubes. In this paper, a pro...
