Implication

Experimental evaluation demonstrates enhanced thermal efficiency in flat-plate solar collectors using copper oxide nanofluid, highlighting viable gains for solar energy systems.

Key Points

Thermal efficiency in flat-plate solar collectors improves substantially when using a cuo/water nanofluid, peaking during midday hours as solar radiation intensity shifts.
Collector efficiency reached 44.44 % in April at an optimal mass flow rate of 0.015 ls−1, surpassing winter performance and enhancing convective heat transfer.
Practical testing of two solar collectors evaluated distilled water against a cuo/water nanofluid, highlighting how nanoparticle additives boost thermal capture.
