Numerical study of an Evacuated Tube Solar Collector incorporating a Nano-PCM as a latent heat storage system
A new Evacuated Tube Solar Collector (ETSC) incorporating a Nano-PCM with fins is presented and studied. The numerical mathematical 2D model of phase change heat transfer is highlighted. The effect of adding nanoparticles of copper (Cu) to paraffin wax on system performance was investigated. The hea...
