Prediction of Behavior of Organic Rankine Cycle Driven Concentrated Power Collectors with Magnetized Nanofluid CuO

The behavioral performance of magnetized nanofluids CuOin Parabolic Trough Concentrating Solar Collector (CSP) with an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC), and a Thermal Energy Storage (TES) system were studied under different solar radiations. TheORCuses an environmentally sound quaternary mixture composed of R134a, R245fa, R125, R236fa. The results showed that the power output and Hybrid efficiency of the CSP collector and thermal energy stored in the storage tank were enhanced with the increase of the solar radiation and the magnetic field force. Also, the study concluded that the magnetized nanofluid CuO outperformed other nanofluids understudy under similar conditions. Finally, the model?s prediction compared fairly with data reported in the literature.
