The effect of nanoparticle shape on alumina/EG-water (50:50) nanofluids flow within a solar collector: Entropy and exergy investigation

In this paper, the entropy generation (EGen) and exergy of a solar collector (SC) with alumina/ethylene glycol-water (50:50) nanofluid (NFs) flow are calculated. The tubes and the absorber plate of the collector are made of copper and steel, and the results of both materials are compared. Tubes with...
