Experimental investigation the effect of nanofluid on the pressure drop across the solar collector

This is a study on the performance of a pressure drop system of a evacuated tube solar collector. The objective of this project is to analysis the effect of nanofluid as the working fluid and temperature on the pressure drop by determining the pressure drop by using distilled water and nanofluid at...
