Assessment on thermophysical properties of nano enhanced heat transfer fluid with hexagonal boron nitride nanoparticles for thermal management of photovoltaic thermal (PVT) system

One of the most promising sources of energy to meet demand and reduce pollution from fossil fuels is solar energy. To maximize energy conversion, solar technology efficiency, whether it comes from thermal systems, photovoltaic panels, or a hybrid known as photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) systems is critic...
