Assited convective heat transfer and entropy generation in a solar collector filled with nanofluid
Heat transfer phenomena of flat plate solar collector filled with different nanofluids has been investigated numerically. Galerkin’s Finite Element Method is used to solve the problem. Heat transfer rate, average bulk temperature, average sub-domain velocity, outlet temperature, thermal efficiency,...
