“…The results showed that increasing the weight by nanoparticles enhanced the compound's effectiveness by 45%. Prakasam et al [66] investigated the feasibility of evaluating the performance of (F.P.S.C) Hybrid and single nanofluids (Fe2O4, ZnO/water distilled) are used. The results showed that using water distilled (ZnO-F e2O4) hybrid nanofluids with a particle concentration of (0.5%) improved the outcomes.…”

In this paper, the literature will be reviewed, and various research works conducted to improve the thermal performance of flat panel solar collectors will be summarized. It will be summarized in more than one way. Firstly, by design using different methodologies and methods to improve the efficiency and the thermal performance of the solar collector by introducing twisted strips that cause increased mixing. Fluids and Friction for FPSCs. To increase heat transfer as well as use porous materials to enhance heat and improve the effectiveness of absorption panels to absorb as much solar radiation as possible as well as thermal insulation methods to reduce losses to surrounding areas. And improve the permeability of the glass cover. Secondly, the use of nanofluids enhances the performance of flat solar collectors instead of the core fluid, and its effect is to improve the thermophysical properties such as thermal conductivity by summarizing previous research using mono nanofluids and hybrid nanofluids. Through studies and research related to the use of mono nanofluids, it was noted that the best nanofluids are those that use CuO and Al₂O₃ particles due to their ease of availability and high thermal conductivity. As for hybrid nanofluids, the best fluids are (CuO + Al₂O₃/water) for the same reason above. As a result of design improvements and the use of nanofluids, temperatures up to (75C°) were obtained.

“…The dimension and morphology of the nanoparticles show a major impact on the thermophysical properties of prepared nanofluids [26]. The particles that are larger than 100 nm could be easily settled in the prepared solution, and irregular-shaped nanoparticles may affect the fluid flow properties [27].…”

The current work investigates the performance of cylindrical-shaped sintered wick heat pipe at different orientations, numerically. The results are compared and validated with the experimental findings. The study is extended by using a nanofluid (comprising nano-Curo in deionized water) as a working fluid and the thermal performance of heat pipe with deionized (DI) water has been compared with that of heat pipe with nanofluid (containing various concentrations of CuO nanoparticles in DI water). During the investigation, the nanofluid with 1.0 weight fraction of CuO nanopaticles found to be optimum, which has produced the better results. The numerical analysis has been carried out to study the temperature difference, fluid velocity, and pressure drop of the sintered wick heat pipe using the commercial CFD software, Ansys Fluent R14.5. The computational results are observed to be much closer to the experimental data, and the vapor velocity at the heat pipe’s core has been determined to be 64.54% higher than the liquid flow over the wick structure. Interestingly, the heat pipe pressure drop has been reduced by adding CuO nanoparticles to the working fluid. Finally, the heat pipe loaded with a 1.0% concentration of nano-CuO in nanofluid has exhibited a notable reduction in pressure drop of 35.33%.

A solar collector is an important device for the collecting and converting solar energy into thermal energy. It can be synchronized to work in combination with different power sources to provide stable and continuous power. In this study, TiO2 nanoparticles with control on the size and the exposed facet orientation were prepared through a fluorine-free solvothermal synthesis process. The as-synthesized nanoparticles were analyzed using XRD and TEM techniques. The effect of size (about 6 and 17 nm) and facet orientation ([001] and [101]) of the used TiO2 NPs as nanofluid on the performance of the solar collector was investigated experimentally. In the experimental solar collector setup, the highest absorption efficiency was 71.75% for TiO2 NPs with the mixed effects of size and facet orientation, whereas the absorption efficiency was 71.37% for commercially available P25 NPs. Most importantly, the combination of the size and facet orientation effect led to a synergy effect, proving a positive synergy between the size and facet orientation. The obtained results represent that the performance of the solar collector was severely affected by the size and facet orientation of the NPs.
