Abstract:In this study, the influence of design factors (concentration of Fe3O4 nanofluid (NF), mass flow rate, FPDASC height, and emissivity of the receiver) of flat plate direct absorption solar collector (FPDASC) using Fe3O4 NF was investigated using the CFD (computational fluid dynamics) method. As a result, when the concentration of Fe3O4 NF increases up to 0.1 wt%, the thermal and exergy efficiencies increase by 0.773 and 0.0293, respectively, due to the increased optical absorbance. Increasing the mass flow rate… Show more
