This study numerically investigated the effect of applying different shapes of nanofluid-conveying pipes on a thermal solar panel system. Two pipes with circular, elliptical, and square shapes were employed in this system. Likewise, paraffin wax Phase Change Material (PCM) was used in the solar ther...
