Effect of hybrid nanofluid on heat transfer performance of parabolic trough solar collector receiver

Recep Ekiciler et al.

Summary: This study investigates the three-dimensional heat transfer and flow characteristics of different hybrid nanofluids in a parabolic trough solar collector receiver under turbulent flow conditions. Results show that hybrid nanofluids outperform the base fluid in terms of heat transfer and flow features, with heat transfer enhancement correlated to Reynolds number and nanoparticle volume fraction. Among the tested nanofluids, Ag-MgO/Syltherm 800 with 4.0% nanoparticle volume fraction is identified as the most efficient working fluid for the PTC receiver.

Numerical investigation of power-law hybrid nanofluid in a wavy micro-tube with the hydrophobic wall and porous disks under a magnetic field

Mohammad Derikvand et al.

Summary: The study investigated the heat transfer and entropy generation of a power-law hybrid nanofluid in a micro-tube with various factors. It was found that the presence of porous disks and magnetic field improved heat transfer but had mixed effects on entropy generation. Additionally, the use of a hydrophobic wall also showed positive impacts on heat transfer and entropy generation, with more significant changes observed in the first-order model.

Efficiency of the parabolic through solar collector using NiFe2O4/Water nanofluid and U-tube

Mohammad Shafiey Dehaj et al.

Summary: The study investigated the efficiency of the parabolic trough solar collector using Nickel Ferrite nanofluid as a working fluid, with results showing that higher flow rates of the nanofluid were more effective than pure water. Additionally, the use of U-tube as an absorbent proved to be more effective than without.

State-of-the-art review of nanofluids in solar collectors: A review based on the type of the dispersed nanoparticles

Qingang Xiong et al.

Summary: Nanofluids, as a new generation of fluids, have shown to be more suitable for heat transfer applications compared to conventional fluids, with the type of nanoparticles dispersed being a key parameter. This review focuses on the different types of particles used in nanofluid research, particularly in solar collectors, exploring their impact on heat transfer and the classification of nanoparticles. Studies suggest that Al2O3-based nanofluids are widely considered in solar collectors, with non-metallic based nanofluids potentially more efficient for enhancement. Negative aspects such as thermo-physical instability and reduced efficiency at high nanoparticle volume fraction are also highlighted, along with suggestions for future research directions.

Abolfazl Fattahi

Summary: The combination of twisted rib and rotary wall of the tubular solar collector with a hybrid nanofluid filled absorber was studied numerically. Results showed that the geometry with a single twisted rib exhibited better heat transfer, and adding nanoparticles improved the Nusselt number with little effect from wall rotation. Overall, this configuration can reduce pressure drop and power demand.

Thermal and thermodynamic comparison of smooth and convergent-divergent parabolic trough absorber tubes with the application of mono and hybrid nanofluids

Muhammad S. Khan et al.

Summary: The study has demonstrated that the use of modified geometry with hybrid nanofluids considerably improves the performance of the system by reducing absorber surface temperature and ultimately heat losses. This enhancement in thermal efficiency is achieved by introducing swirls and turbulence with the presence of hybrid nanofluids, resulting in a higher heat transfer coefficient and improved overall performance of the absorber tubes.
