A review of applications of green nanofluids for performance
Consequently, a novel form of solar collector known as a volumetric absorption solar collector (VASC) enhances the thermal performance of low-flux solar energy collectors. In VASC systems, solar energy is absorbed directly by the volume of the working fluid, thereby mitigating losses attributed to heat transfer from absorber plate to fluid [ 193 ].
