Nanofluids have found widespread practical applications in heat transfer, including cooling oils for diverse uses like automobile radiators, solar and nuclear power systems, biomedical devices, ventilation, heating, air conditioning, refrigeration, engine cooling, and transformers. Extensive scientific studies have investigated the impact of exotic fluids when combined with traditional heat transfer fluids, revealing that this combination enhances heat transfer performance beyond that of conventional working fluids. Collectively, these studies demonstrate the impressive heat transfer abilities of nanofluids. To optimize the efficiency of flat plate solar collectors, a comprehensive approach integrating theory and experimentation is essential. The results of such research highlight that increasing both the mass flow rate and concentration of nanofluids can lead to significant efficiency improvements, with potential enhancements ranging from 20% to 85%.

Nanociecze znalazły szerokie praktyczne zastosowanie w wymianie ciepła. Oleje chłodzące w tym oleje stosowane są w różnych zastosowaniach, takich jak chłodnice samochodowe, systemy energii słonecznej i jądrowej, urządzenia biomedyczne, wentylacja, ogrzewanie, klimatyzacja, chłodnictwo, chłodzenie silników i transformatorów. Celem szeroko zakrojonych badań naukowych było zbadanie wpływu egzotycznych cieczy w połączeniu z tradycyjnymi cieczami przenoszącymi ciepło, ujawniając, że ta kombinacja poprawia wydajność wymiany ciepła w porównaniu z konwencjonalnymi cieczami roboczymi. Badania wykazały imponujące zdolności przenoszenia ciepła przez nanociecze. Optymalizacja wydajności płaskich kolektorów słonecznych polega na kompleksowym podejściu łączącym metody teoretyczne oraz badania eksperymentalne. Wyniki takich badań podkreślają, że zwiększenie zarówno masowego natężenia przepływu, jak i stężenia nanocieczy może prowadzić do potencjalnej poprawy wydajności w zakresie od 20% do 85%. Celem tego artykułu jest zaprezentowanie osiągnięć naukowych w zakresie implementacji nanocieczy do zwiększenia efektywności cieplnej płaskich kolektorów słonecznych.
