Abstract This paper illustrates how practical application of nanofluids as working fluid to enhance solar flat plate collector efficiency. A numerical
investigation of laminar convective heat transfer flow throw a solar collector is conducted, by using CuO-water nanofluids. The effectiveness of these
nanofluids is compared to conventional working fluid (water), wherein Reynolds number and nanoparticle volume concentration in the ranges of 25–
900 and 0–10 % respectively. The effects of Reynolds number and nanoparticles concentration on the skin-friction and heat transfer coefficients are
presented and discussed later in this paper. Results show that the heat transfer increases with increasing both nanoparticles… More >
