© 2021 Elsevier LtdDirect absorption solar collectors (DASC) with nanofluid represent a new direction in solar thermal technology that is simpler yet more efficient than conventional equipment. In this work, we report details of performance for a custom tubular DASC with a carbon-based nanofluid. The collector was tested experimentally following a standard procedure and using a multiphase CFD-model of the device. The experiments were carried out in a range of flow rates 2. 10 l/min, nanoparticle concentrations 0.0015. 0.082%wt., temperature differences (up to 29.3 degrees), and radiant heat fluxes. We found that, at a particle concentration of 0.01%, the collector demonstrated the average thermal efficiency of 80%. For the comparable temperature differences, the efficiency of DASC was 5.8. 37.9% higher than a collector with similar geometry but a surface absorption of light energy. The CFD-model, validated against our experiments, depicts flow patterns in the DASC focusing on nanoparticles’ deposition. Less than 5% of particles deposit under local flow restrictions at flows above 6 l/min. The deposition patterns from the CFD-model correlate to the experimental observations.
