Numerical Investigation of Heat Transfer on Unsteady Hiemenz Cu-Water and Ag-Water Nanofluid Flow over a Porous Wedge Due to Solar Radiation

Nanoparticles are generally used to scatter and absorb solar radiations in nanofluid-based direct solar receivers to efficiently transport and store the heat. However, solar energy absorption in nanofluid can be enhanced by using differential materials and tuning nanofluid parameter. In this regard,...
