It has been more than two decades since the discovery of 'nanofluids'–mixtures of common
liquids and solid nanoparticles with at least one dimension below 100 nm in size. While …

The increase in energy demand due to population explosion and the recent global
pandemic stressed the need to maximize solar energy harvesting. Nanofluids are used to …

The present review paper aims to document the latest developments on the applications of
nanofluids as working fluid in parabolic trough collectors (PTCs). The influence of many …

By far, the Parabolic trough collector (PTC) is the most established solar concentrating
technology worldwide. This paper draws a comparison among various studies done earlier …

Solar thermal systems are advantageous since it is easier to store heat than electricity on a
large scale. As such, concentrated solar power is receiving considerable interest among …

Solar thermal energy conversion is gaining more attention among researchers due to the
recent development in nanofluids and molten salt technology. Among various solar …

Solar energy exploitation is one of the most important weapons for facing the recent
environmental and energy management dangers. Concentrating solar collectors can …

In the present study, a review is conducted on the state-of-the-art research on the potential of
nano-fluids in parabolic trough collectors (PTCs) in solar thermal systems. PTCs are one of …

This paper presents an extensive review of experimental, numerical, and numerical-
experimental studies focused on compiling different aspects that lead to improved PTSC …

Solar thermal collectors are systems that allow for the use of solar energy in thermal
applications. These collectors utilize a heat transfer fluid to transport absorbed solar …
