Optimization of Solar Flat Plate Collector Design Utilization Various Nanofluids: Thermoeconomic Viewpoint

This study investigates the impact of various nanoparticles, including Al₂O₃, SiO₂, and CuO, at different volumetric concentrations on the design of a solar flat plate collector (SFPC). Water served as the base fluid, and the efficiency and total annual cost (TAC) are considered as the objective functions, and the optimal Pareto fronts are compared to those of the base fluid. The results revealed that significant improvements in both efficiency and TAC for all nanofluids compared to water. Specifically, efficiency increased by ۴.۴۷%, ۴.۶۵%, and ۵.۲۲% for Al₂O₃, SiO₂, and CuO, respectively, at a fixed TAC of ۶۷ $/year.
