A flat-plate solar collector (FPSC) using multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) was numerically studied. Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with outside diameters of (< 8 nm) and 0.1wt.% were utilized. A three-dimensional model was built and solved via ANSYS software and the inlet parameters...
