Abstract
Flat-plate solar collectors (FPSC) heaters are widely utilized for heating water in residential buildings and other commercial and industrial applications. The main disadvantage of solar water heater is their low efficiency. Improving the thermal characteristics of the working fluid in solar water heater can dramatically increase its thermal efficiency. The aim of the present experimental investigation is to study the effect of using Alumina nanofluids as a working
