In this study, the effect of water based nanofluid and Vortex Generator Insert (VGI) on the thermal efficiency of Flat Plate Solar Collector (FPSC) with the rectangular channel have been investigated experimentally. The experiment on a FPSC using TiO2/Water nanofluid and VGI as well as its heat tran...
