Thermal Stability and Performance Testing of Oil-based CuO Nanofluids for Solar Thermal Applications

For solar thermal systems, nanofluids have been proposed as working fluids due to their enhanced optical and thermal properties. However, nanoparticles may agglomerate over time, heating and thermal cycles. Even though pristine nanofluids have proven to enhance performance in low-temperature applica...
