In this article, titania with silver nanoparticles is synthesized in composite form and suspended in water to prepare TiO 2 -Ag/water hybrid nanofluid. The thermal conductivity and dynamic viscosity of titania-silver/water for 0.1 vol.% and 0.2 vol.% are measured, and their regression models are used in simulation. Using ANSYS version 19, the CFD simulation of the flat plate solar collector model is conducted at different mass flow rates (0.01–0.025 kg/s) and at reduced temperatures (0–0.025 m 2 K/W). From the analysis, the performance of water and TiO 2 -Ag/water is compared for both energetic and exergetic aspects. The maximum enhancement of the heat transfer coefficient is about 13% and 16.1% for hybrid nanofluids of 0.1 vol.% and 0.2 vol.%, respectively, at 0.01 kg/s, compared with water. The maximum energy efficiency enhancement is around 0.85% and 1.03%, whereas the exergy efficiency enhancement is around 1.4% and 3.52% for 0.1 vol.% and 0.2 vol.% nanofluid, respectively, in comparison with water.
