Performance of the flat plate solar collector operated with water-Al2O3 nanofluid

Abstract

The paper discusses the effect of application of water-Al2O3 nanofluid, as a working fluid, on the efficiency of a flat plate solar collector. The mass concentration of nanoparticles was 0.1%, 0.2% and 0.4%. The tests were conducted for two values of radiation of about 1050 W/m2 and 400 W/m2, and volume flow rates of 60 l/h, 120 l/h and 170 l/h. The efficiency was calculated according to recommendations of the Polish Standard. The results show that the application of nanofluids instead of pure water resulted in higher efficiency of the tested flat plate solar collector for given range of thermal radiation. Independent of the volume flow rate of the nanofluid, the maximum efficiency was recorded for nanoparticle concentration equal to 0.2%.
