Evaluation and analysis of nanofluid and surfactant impact on photovoltaic-thermal systems

The use of nanofluids as a heat transfer agent has spread and expanded as its thermal conductivity is higher than the base fluid, so its use has been increased in heat exchangers and PVT systems. In this study, water was used as a base fluid and nano-silicon carbide as an additive to improve the the...
