In this study, the effect of CuO/distilled water nanofluid on the performance of evacuated tube solar collector (ETSC) water heater with internal coil under thermosyphon system circulations was experimentally investigated. The volume fraction of nanoparticles was considered at 0.03–0.06%. The mass f...
