چکیده
The objective of this paper is to investigate the theoretical performance Parabolic Trough Collector (PTC) using various nanofluids. performances are calculated for Al2O3, graphite, magnetite, SWCNH, CuO, SiO2, MWCNT, TiO2, Fe2O3, and ZnO in water heat transfer equations, thermodynamic properties nanofluid pumping power utilised development novel thermal model. efficiency PTC calculated, economic viability technology predicted a range concentration. results showed that conductivity increases with concentration nanoparticles base fluid. Magnetite highest efficiency, followed by ZnO, respectively. study reveals MWCNT at 0.4% best-suited considering gain power. Most nanofluids achieved optimum influence mass flow rate on evaluated. When increased from 70 Kg/hr 90Kg/hr, 10%-20% increase observed. Dispersing reduces levelized cost energy large-scale plants. These findings add knowledge scientific community aimed explicitly solar technology. report can also be used as pursue projects an basis.
