Experimental study on the effect of pH variation of nanofluids on the thermal efficiency of a solar collector with helical tube

•We investigate the effect of nanofluids at various pH values on the efficiency of a collector.•The efficiency of collector is increased with the variation of pH of nanofluids.•For nanofluids at the acidic condition, the increased efficiency obtained compared with the basic condition. In this experi...
