In both areas,high-performance cooling,heating and electricitygeneration is one of the vital needs.
Modern nanotechnology can produce metallic or nonmetallic particles of nanometer dimensions which
have unique mechanical,optical,electrical,magnetic,and thermal properties.Studies in this field
indicate that exploiting nanofluid in solar systems,offers unique advantages over conventional fluids.
