Performance Evaluation of Flat Plate and Vacuum Tube Solar Collectors by Applying a MWCNT/Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> Binary Nanofluid

This study experimentally investigated the performance characteristics of water and MWCNT/Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> binary nanofluid as a working fluid in a flat plate and vacuum tube solar collectors. As a result, the highest efficiency was 80.3% when 0.005 vol.% MWCNT/0.0...
