Abstract

Solar water heater using flat plate heat pipe solar collector with nanofluid works under three sections i.e, Evaporation ,adiabatic expansion and the last but not the least is condensation. Heat pipe used as a heat Exchanger ,dissipate the heat using nanofluid (Al2O3 –water based) as working fluid. Through flat plate heat Collector working fluid working fluid flows through it and efficiency is calculated at different angles of heat pipe, efficiency can be improve. The performance of the system depends upon the flat plate and the climate conditions because it requires very warm temperature to operate. This analysis signifies that tilt angle of the heat plate increase the heat performance.
