Abstract : Nanofluids are still-developing fluids that demonstrate heating properties better than those of traditional fluids. Nanofluids are used to achieve maximum thermal properties with minimal concentrations, achieved via even distribution and steady mixing of nanomaterials with the base fluids. Nanofluids play a crucial part in diverse heating applications, including automobile industries, heat transfer devices, and solar power production. Heat transfer improvement in solar collecting device is a significant concern for energy efficiency, dense designs, and various working temperatures. The paper provides a detailed overview of the thermophysical properties of nanofluids with its use in solar collecting device. Recent studies highlight the traditional heat transmission using nanofluids and their definite applications in solar collectors.
