The Effect of the Thermo-Physical Properties of Nano Fluids (Cuo) on a Flat Plate Solar Collector for the Desalination Process in Experiments

Abstract

Cupric oxide/water-based nanofluids' thermophysical properties have been the subject of experimental research. Surfactant Sodium Dodecyl Benzene Sulfonate (SDBS) is used to make the CuO/water nanofluid because it provides the best stability for the dispersion of the nanoparticles in comparison to pure water suspension. The appropriate volumetric fraction of CuO/water nanofluid was chosen to be 0.05%. Nano-liquids are capable intensity move transporters for gathering nuclear power in sunlight based warm applications. Theoretical and experimental applications of nanofluids in solar thermal research are presented in this paper. The impact of thickness and consistency of these nano-liquids for sun oriented authority has been explored tentatively also. By suppressing convection, the solar collector helps to reduce system heat losses by allowing solar radiation to pass through to the energy collection surface. Warm exhibitions have been researched tentatively on a 250 Liters each Day (LPD). In this paper, silicon sunlight based cells are liked for different energy prerequisite purposes since it gives lower pollutant levels during the cycle. During the desalination process, the aluminum basin material and the FRP or GRP chute material are typically utilized because they are less reactive with saline water. Using the proposed model, this procedure is used to evaluate the mass flow rate, steam mass, and solar radiation for various March weather conditions. The prepared nanofluid and the synthesized nanoparticle's thermo-physical properties were also compared theoretically and experimentally. This model produces steam with a maximum mass of 71.72 kilograms and a minimum mass of 21.68 kilograms. The proposed model's volumetric efficiency without the nanofluid is 58.36 percent, while the volumetric efficiency with the nanofluid is 66.23%.
