        abstract = {This study investigates the combioned effect of low-frequency vibrations and heat transfer fluid on the fluid outlet temperature of flat plate solar collectors (FPSC).Low-frequency vibrations in the range of 5{\^a}??10{\^A} Hz with a constant amplitude of 3{\^A} mm were applied on the FPSC having water (H2O) and Aluminum Oxide (Al2O3{\^a}??H2O) water nanofluid as HTF.Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) study was carried out to simulated FPSC and the model validated with the experimental results from the literature.The results showed a noticeable enhancement in the fluid outlet temperature of FPSC after applying vibrations.With water as HTF, the fluid outlet temperature without vibrations was 41.4{\^A} {\^A}oC, while by applying low-frequency vibrations of 5 and 10{\^A} Hz, it increased to 48.7{\^A} {\^A}oC and 49.5{\^A} {\^A}oC respectively.While with Aluminum Oxide (Al2O3{\^a}??H2O) water nanofluid as HTF, the fluid outlet temperature without vibrations was 50.68{\^A} {\^A}oC while by applying low-frequency vibrations of 5 and 10{\^A} Hz, it increased to 51.3{\^A} {\^A}oC and 52.5{\^A} {\^A}oC respectively. {\^A}{\copyright} 2023, Institute of Technology PETRONAS Sdn Bhd.},
