Thermal performance evaluation of various nanofluids with non-uniform heating for parabolic trough collectors

Nanoparticles when used even in relatively low concentrations, can significantly alter the thermal properties of a base working fluid, thereby substantially enhancing the thermal performance of a power generation system. In the present study, numerical simulations were performed for a solar collecto...
