An experimental investigation on the effect of ferrofluids on the efficiency of novel parabolic trough solar collector under laminar flow conditions

The paper is related to the use of magnetic nanofluids (ferrofluids) in a direct absorption solar parabolic trough collectors enhances thermal efficiency compared to conventional solar collectors. By applying the right magnetic intensity and magnetic field direction, the thermal conductivity of the...
