The thermophysical properties, configurations and applications of nanofluids on solar PVT system : a review

Solar photovoltaic/thermal technology has been widely used in private and commercial buildings because it produces heat and electricity simultaneously. To improve the performance of PV/T systems, nanofluids are used as potential heat transfer because of their high thermal conductivity. This paper...
