Implication

Experimental investigation shows superior thermal efficiency in solar collectors using hybrid nanofluid, indicating potential for advanced applications.

Key Points

This work aims to evaluate the thermal performance enhancement of solar collectors using hybrid nanofluid.
Conducted outdoor experiments under real solar conditions (9:00–15:00 h)
Examined nanoparticle concentrations of 0.1, 0.3, and 0.5 vol%
Measured heat transfer coefficient, thermal efficiency, and exergy performance
Hybrid nanofluid achieved a maximum heat transfer coefficient of 357.4 W/m²K at 0.5 vol%
At peak solar irradiance of 1065 W/m², thermal efficiency was 83.9% for 0.5 vol% hybrid nanofluid
Exergy efficiency reached 3.0% at 1065 W/m² for 0.5 vol% hybrid nanofluid, more than double that of water
