Civil engineering (General) Efficient use of natural resources such as waste cotton is getting increasingly essential that have each financial and environmental advantages. Nanoparticles into thermal fluid structures have been extensively taken into consideration as a promising technique to decorate heat transfer and heat efficiency enhancement.

Finally, the thermal performance of these new transport mediums in flat plate solar collectors has been investigated. This investigation is divided into several phases, including measurement and evaluation of distinct thermo-physical properties of graphene, CNC, and hybrid nanofluids such as stability, thermal conductivity, viscosity, specific heat, density, and pH; implementation of nanofluids in the solar collector; a numerical simulation based on the experimental design; measurement of the efficiency enhancement percentage by different mathematical equation and at last optimization of the process.
