Nanofluid-Based Experimentation of a Flat Plate Elliptical Closed Thermosyphon Solar Water Heater

Abstract

Due to its economic appeal and feasibility when compared to alternative forms of energy utilization, solar water heating systems are the most often used kind of solar energy use. Hot water that is necessary for both home and commercial uses can be supplied by the solar water heating system. One of the main concerns of energy-saving and compact designs is improving heat transmission in solar equipment. The new class of heat transfer fluids known as nanofluids are made up of minuscule amounts of evenly and steadily dispersed nanoparticles in fluids. More heat conductivity is exhibited by nanofluids than by any other type of conventional fluid. Nanofluids have been used in several investigations on circular heat pipe flat plate solar collectors. This investigation examined the wickless elliptical heat
