Nitrogen doped hybrid carbon based composite dispersed nanofluids as working fluid for low-temperature direct absorption solar collectors

This article studied the thermal conductivity of deionized (DI) water and ethylene glycol (EG) based nanofluids with varying temperatures for different volume fractions of N-(rGO-MWNTs) (nitrogen doped hybrid structure of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs)). The thermal conductivity was found by using the transient plane source (TPS) method by using a Thermal Analyser. From the experimental results, it was noted that the thermal conductivity of ...

Laboratory investigation into thermal response of asphalt pavements as solar collector by application of small-scale slabs

The ability of asphalt as a solar collector is studied with the help of the transient plane source (TPS) technique. Tubes were embedded into the asphalt slab and were used to circulate water, which collected the heat from the asphalt slabs....
