Common ordinary fluids including water, glycol, and oils are extensively employed in solar thermal applications.However, because of their poor thermal performance and limited thermal conductivity, these fluids limit heat transfer.Hybrid nanofluids have proven themselves as a new and highly useful alternative because of their enhanced thermophysical characteristics in solar thermal applications.Recently, the focus in studies on hybrid nanofluids have increased as a continuation of the study of mono nanofluids.An extensive analysis of hybrid nanofluids research is presented in this review.This review focuses on the methods by which hybrid nanofluids is prepared as well as techniques to improve stability.Numerous studies have examined how hybrid nanoparticles affect thermophysical characteristics as density, viscosity, specific heat, and thermal conductivity.In this review, hybrid nanofluids were investigated as operating fluid in flat plate solar collector by a thorough examination of numerous theoretical, computational, and experimental research.The main objective of HNF application is to increase thermal efficiency.Ultimately, issues and limitations were covered, and suggestions for further research were provided.The results of the studies showed that water is the most suitable base liquid for use compared to other types of base liquids.As for nanoparticles, MWCNT and h-BN when mixed with metal oxides such as TiO2 and Al2O3 are the most suitable for use.
