Abstract
Solar energy is an enormous and mostly untapped resource. Solar energy remains used mainly in small direct-use application such as water heating. Solar energy is usedas direct light and heat from sun that is yoked with a scale of ever-needful innovative technology such as solar water heating, Solar Air heating, Photosynthesis, etc. It is a universal energy used by most of peoples. It is renewable and ecofriendly energy. Solar energy is trapped by solar collector. A collector of solar collects heat by gripping process. Solar collector is describingas a device deliberate to attract incident solar radiation, transference the energy to fluid transient in contact with it usually liquid or air. Heat pipes are primary heat receiving device in solar collector. Heat pipe heat exchanger is a device which is used to transmit the heat from one side to another place using an evaporation-condensation cycle. In solar collector, three types of solar collectors are being used. The names of heat pipes are evacuated tube, flat plate solar collector and focused solar collector. The performance of heat pipes is determined by working fluid. But now day’s Nano fluids are used in heat pipe. In otherwise Nanofluid describesthe fluid requiring Nano particles is called Nano fluid. Nano fluid plays an important task in water heater, power generation.
