Assessment of thermohydraulic performance and entropy generation in an evacuated tube solar collector employing pure water and nanofluids as working fluids

This study conducts a numerical comparison of the thermal performance of three distinct working fluids (pure water, TiO2, and SiO2 water-based nanofluids) within an evacuated tube solar collector using Computational Fluid Dynamics. The study evaluates thermohydraulic performance alongside global and...
