摘要
The paper presents the experimental measurements of thermal efficiency of a tubular direct absorption solar collector (DASC) with a hybrid nanofluid based on magnetite (Fe3O4) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT). The volumetric concentration of Fe3O4 and MWCNT was 0.0053% and 0.0045%, respectively. The experiments were carried out for the flow rates of 2-10 L/min and a temperature difference up to 20 & LCIRC;C between the environment and the DASC. The performance of the DASC with a hybrid nanofluid was in the range of 52.3-69.4%, which was just beyond the performance of the collector with surface absorption. It was also found that using a MWCNT-based nanofluid with an equivalent total volumetric concentration of particles (0.0091%), the efficiency was 8.3-31.5% higher than for the cases with the hybrid nanofluid.
