Abstract
Overall, nanofluids have the potential to be a promising technology for improving the performance of solar thermal systems. They are effective in increasing the temperature and efficiency of these systems and have the potential to be used in a variety of applications, including concentrated and nonconcentrated systems. However, several challenges are associated with using nanofluids in solar thermal applications, including stability, compatibility, cost, and health/environmental concerns. Thus it is recommended to carry out further studies on using nanofluids in solar thermal applications to fully understand their potential and address the challenges associated with their application. In particular, it is necessary to improve the stability and compatibility of nanofluids and address health and environmental issues.
