Review on nanofluid role design aspects to enhance the thermal performance of the parabolic trough collector

摘要

Experimental results and investigation of parabolic trough solar receiver with various nano-fluids and same nanofluids with different base fluids and without nanofluid are reviewed in this paper. Utilization of different nanofluids in enhancement of heat transfer, properties of nanofluid with respect to several parameters associated with heat trapping and thermal performance enhancement of trough collector with nanofluid & without nanofluid are analyzed in detail.
