The utilization of nanofluids (NFs) holds promise for enhancing the thermal efficiency of solar thermal collectors. Among the various NF solutions, red mud (RM) NFs have gained attention due to their effective absorption of solar thermal energy. RM comprises precious metal oxides, making it a profic...
