Impact of magnetic field on the enhancement of performance of thermal solar collectors using nanofluids

Abstract:

A numerical mathematical model has been developed to pbkp_redict the thermal behaviour of thermal solar collectors using nanofluids under different magnetic fields. The model is based upon energy conservation equations for nanofluids flow, heat transfer for different nanofluids and magnetic field. The thermal behaviour of the solar collectors during charging phase has been studied, pbkp_redicted numerically and analysed using different nanofluid materials and magnetic fields. Comparisons were made against literature data for validation purposes of the pbkp_redictive model. The model fairly pbkp_redicted heat absorbed and solar panel efficiency under different nanofluids conditions, magnetic fields and compared well with existing data on the subject.
