Outdoor Test

A solar heat pipe collector was designed and fabricated to study its performance of the outdoor test condition. The thermal performance of the wickless heat pipe solar collector was investigated for pure water and nanofluid with varied range of CNT nanofluid concentration (0.15%, 0.45%, 0.60%, and 1% by volume) and various tilt angles (20 deg, 32 deg, 40 deg, 50 deg, and 60 deg). CNT nanoparticles with diameter 10–12 nm and 0.1–10 μm length are used in the present experimental investigation. The optimal value of CNT nanofluid concentration for better performance is obtained from the investigation. The thermal performance of the heat pipe solar collector with CNT nanofluid is compared to that of pure water.

Outdoor Test

An experimental study was carried out to investigate the thermal performance of solar heat pipe collector at outdoor test condition. The thermal performance of wickless heat pipe solar collector was investigated by using CNT–water nanofluid. Carbon nanotubes (CNT) nanoparticles with diameter 10–12 nm and 0.1–10 μm length were used in the present experimental investigation. The effects of various filling ratio (F.R.) (50%, 60%, and 70%) and coolant flow rate on thermal performance were discussed in this study.
