Nanofluids can be applied to increase the thermal efficiency of a parabolic trough solar collector (PTC) substituting the heat transfer base fluid. In this work, dynamic viscosity and thermal conducti
This research project reports a novel type of nanofluid consisting in the addition of cobalt hydroxychloride (Co2(OH)3Cl) nanopowders to pure water via a two-step method. Co2(OH)3Cl nanoparticles were
