Improvement in the performance of solar collectors with nanofluids - A state-of-the-art review

The upward energy demand along with the depletion of conventional energy sources demands improved utilization of renewable energy resources. Among many energy resources, solar energy is the most appropriate alternative to conventional energy sources owing to its inexhaustibility and green property....
