Abstract The primary objective of this study is to develop an innovative theoretical model to accurately predict the thermophysical properties of hybrid nanofluids designed to enhance cooling in solar panel applications. This research lays the groundwork for our future studies, which will focus on photovoltaic thermal applications. These nanofluids consist of water and nanoparticles of alumina (Al2O3), titanium dioxide (TiO2), and copper (Cu), exploring volumetric concentrations ranging from 0% to 4% for each type of nanoparticle, and up to 10% for total mixtures. The developed model accounts for complex interactions between the nanoparticles and the base fluid, More >
