“…Additionally, carbon-based nanomaterials exhibit superior thermal conductivity for such applications [141,176]. Nonetheless, a primary challenge lies in selecting appropriate nanoparticles and fluids for specific applications [52]. Aggarwal et al [17] have demonstrated that PCMs and nanofluids can synergize to enhance heat transfer in solar water heaters, including evacuated tube solar collectors (ETSCs) and flat plate solar collectors (FPSCs), leveraging the manifold advantages offered by nanofluids.…”

The utilization of phase change materials (PCMs) in solar water heating systems (SWHS) has undergone notable advancements, driven by a rising demand for systems delivering superior performance and efficiency. Extensive research suggests that enhancing heat transfer (HTE) in storage systems is crucial for achieving these improvements. This review employs a bibliometric analysis to track the evolution of HTE methods within this field. While current literature underscores the necessity for further exploration into hot water generation applications, several methodologies exhibit significant promise. Particularly, strategies such as fins, encapsulation, and porous media emerge as prominent HTE techniques, alongside nanofluids, which hold the potential for augmenting solar water heating systems. This review also identifies numerous unexplored techniques awaiting investigation, aiming to pave new paths in research and application within the field of hot water generation. It highlights methods that could be used independently or alongside predominantly used techniques.
