[ 1 ] - The Exergy Optimization of a Flat-Plate Solar Collector Using AL2O3-Water, CuO-Water and TiO2-Water Nanofluids by Genetic Algorithm

In this study, the exergy efficiency of a flat plate solar collector using Al2O3, TiO2, CuO nanoparticles and pure water as base fluid is studied. Solar radiation is selected between 200 to 600 W/m2. The method to determine optimum values of optimization variables has been developed by Genetic Algorithm Toolbox in MATLAB software. Results show by increasing solar radiation the optimized exergy ...
