a b s t r a c tThis review discusses heat transfer enhancement of various nanoparticles in solar stills. The thermal conductivities of various nanoparticles, that is, SiC, and multiwalled carbon nanotubes suspended in water with different volume fractions are analyzed. The factors involved in the thermal conductivity and distillation enhancement of nanofluids are discussed. This review is crucial because thermal conductivity enhancement augments the fresh water yield.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
