Experimental Study of a Hybrid Solar Collector Using TiO2/Water Nanofluids

A case study of solar collector outdoor test the experimental technique conducted at Avadi, Chennai. To lower temperature PV panels, water, and water-based nanofluids were utilized concurrently. Higher cell temperatures restrict effectiveness systems since only a minor amount power from sun is gathered as electricity energy conversion, remaining squandered heat. The aimed to develop build hybrid while also analyzing its electrical thermal performance. effort was invested in improving system’s performance; PVT tested volume concentrations two, such 0.5 1.0 L per minute (LPM). PV/T determined efficiency highest 48.38 percent 54.03 percent, respectively, LPM flow rates. collector’s 18.32 19.35 for results demonstrate that nanofluid has more excellent conductivity than base fluid with little change viscosity density.
