The Efficiency Enhancement on the Direct Flow Evacuated Tube Solar Collector Using Water-Based Titanium Oxide Nanofluids

In the present study, the efficiency of an evacuated-tube solar collector was investigated experimentally by using water and water-based titanium oxide nanofluids as the working fluids. The titanium oxide nanofluids with the average nanoparticles size between 30-50nm were prepared and tested at volu...

The titanium oxide nanofluids with the average nanoparticles size between 30-50nm were prepared and tested at volume concentration of 1.0%, 2.0% and 3.0%. The volume flow rate of the working fluids in the solar collector varied from 2.0 to 3.0 liter/min. The experiments were performed at outdoor conditions according to the ASHRAE standard 93-2000.
