A concise review on the role of nanoparticles upon the productivity of solar desalination systems (2018, background): “8 Over the last two decades, nanoparticles and nanofluids have opened a new window to enhance the efficiencies of various thermal systems [19-34].”
Application of Nanofluids in Thermal Performance Enhancement of Parabolic Trough Solar Collector: State-of-the-Art (2019, methodology): “It should be noted that higher viscosity is actually a drawback in the nanofluid application as it increases friction factor and hence causes pressure drop along the receiver tube of the PTC which finally increases the pumping demand of the nanofluid in PTC [39].”
