Design-oriented modeling of Cattaneo–Christov flux and solar radiation on propylene glycol based trihybrid-nanofluid through solar panel: Applications in solar energy
Abstract
This research describes an investigation into the effect of solar radiation and heat generation on propylene glycol-based trihybrid nanofluid using Cattaneo-Christov theory and activation energy in an out spreading solar module sheet installed on an offshore solar oil field. Renewable energy has an extraordinary ability to substitute itself quicker than it is depleted, especially when sourced from natural sources like the wind and sun. The model described here has significant potential for augmenting the thermal efficiency of solar energy systems, particularly for oil rig solar panel sheets that operate under extreme climatic conditions. The Cattaneo-Christov heat and mass flux model, which allows for precise prediction of thermal and concentration relaxation phenomena, can benefit industrial and offshore energy platforms by improving energy conversion efficiency, sophisticated cooling technologies, and intelligent thermal management systems. The resulting partial differential equations are then converted into ordinary differential equations by using similarity factors. The resultant sets of nonlinear ordinary differential equations have been simulated using the Homotopy analysis approach. The concentration profile rises as the activation energy parameter values increase.
