Abstract :
- In this work, the effect of titanium dioxidewater nanofluid on a flat-plate solar collector’s
performance has been studied. To obtain the nanofluid,
we blended 2% TiO2 (by mass) with pure water. To
maintain the prepared nanofluid suspension’s stability
and to suppress the possible flocculation problem, we
added 0.2% surface activator (Triton X-100) to the
mixture by mass, which was further processed by
continuous pulsing for 8 hours in an ultrasonic bath. EN
ISO-9806 standard was followed for the experimental
procedures. The mentioned process resulted in the
formation of the required nanofluid and the comparative
results are mentioned in the graphic form. The
experiments conducted on a flat-plate solar collector
showed 49.68% instantaneous enhancement for TiO2-
water nanofluid whereas, for pure water, it was only
36.20%
