Abstract
Solar thermal absorption has an important role in the solar power plant to store the energy and usually, the solar systems face the problem to store and control the energy at high temperatures. The research aims to study the hybrid nanofluids which is used as the solar energy absorber and tends to store the thermal energy. In the this study, the authors focus on response of the inclined plate solar collector when the base fluid of water is substituted by the Hybrid nanofluid containing MgO (Magnesium oxide), CuO (Copper Oxide) with MWCNTs (Multiple wall carbon nanotubes), and water is used as a base solvent. The inclined plate is embedded in the permeable medium in the existence of solar radiation. The solution to the problem has been tackled through analytical techniques. The essential physical features are observed for heat transfer, absorption, and omission rate of the solar radiations.
