Heat Transfer Enhancement in a Parabolic Trough Solar Collector (PTSC) Using Passive Technique and Nanofluids/ Hybrid Nanofluids

Numerical analysis on a three-dimensional PTSC receiver’s tube model equipped with conical/wavy turbulators was conducted with various types of nanofluids/hybrid nanofluids. The Navier-Stokes equations were solved using FVM coupled with the MCRT method. The flow, thermal and entropy characteristics...
