Performance enhancement studies in a thermosyphon flat plate solar water heater with CuO nanofluid
Thermal Science, 2017 Experiments were conducted on a thermosyphon type flat plate collector, inclined at 45?, for water heating application. Water and water based nanofluids were used as absorber fluid to gain heat from solar rays incident on the flat plate col-lector. Nanofluids were prepared by adding CuO nanoparticles of 40-50 nm size to the base fluid at 0.1, 0.2, 0.3,
