“…According to a review study by Ravisankar and Chand [9] and Azmi et al [3], the study of nanofluid properties is important as they contribute significantly to heat transfer performance. Said et al [10] conducted a study on the thermo-physical properties of Al 2 O 3 in EG/water mixture (by mass) nanofluids. They showed that thermal conductivity linearly increased with concentration of nanofluid.…”

“…Said et al [22] experimentlly investigated the thermal conductivity, viscosity and pressure drop of water, ethylene glycol (EG) and EG + H2O (60:40)-based Al2O3 (13 nm) nanofluids prepared by using ultrasonic dispersion method in the operating temperature range of 25°C to 80°C at low range concentrations of 0.05% to 0.1% for. They observed that deviation of experimental values from estimated values of thermal conductivity of Al 2 O 3 / water nanofluids is considerably high but the experimental values of Al 2 O 3 /EG nanofluids are nearly similar to those of the model calculation as seen in Figure 13.…”

“…They attributed the increase of stored energy to the increase in thermal conductivity of the base fluid due to the nanoparticles addition that leads to uniform Figure 18 Variation of the average temperatures of the PV surface at various flow rates for water and three different concentrations of nanofluid. Said et al [22] Al2O3, water, ethylene glycol Solar collector Their results showed that nanofluids pressure drop at a low concentration flowing in a solar collector is slightly higher than the base fluid.…”

“…They pointed out that he efficiency of flat-plate solar collector increased by 28.3% using 0.2 wt% Al2O3 and 15.63% using 0.4 wt% Al2O3 with surfactant compared to water. Experimental analyses on performance of a flat-plate solar collector using different types of nanofluid were carried out by Polvongsri and Kiatsiriroat [22], Said et al [23] and Chaji et al [24]. It was concluded that the effects of nanofluids with low volume fractions were insignificant on the pumping power and pressure drop of a solar collector.…”
