Thermal capability and entropy optimization for Prandtl-Eyring hybrid nanofluid flow in solar aircraft implementation: Thermal capability for Prandtl-Eyring hybrid nanofluid flow in solar aircraft

In addition to photovoltaic cells, solar power plates, photovoltaic lights, and solar pumping water, solar energy is the primary source of heat from the sun. At the moment, researchers are looking at the use of nanotechnological and solar radiation to increase aeronautical efficiency. In this study, hybrid nanofluid flow linearly passes through a parabolic trough solor collector (PTSC) on the interior of solar aircraft wings to study heat transmission. Solar radiative flow was the term used to describe the heat source. The heat transfer efficiency of the wings is evaluated for several effects, such as a slanted magnetic field, viscous dissipation, play heating, and thermal radiative flow. Entropy generation study was performed on the Prandtl-Eyring hybrid nanofluid (P-EHNF). The Keller box technique was used to solve the predicted energy and momentum equations. As a typical fluid, EG (ethylene glycol) is used to disperse the nanosolid particles, which consist of copper (Cu) and cobalt ferrite (CoFe₂O₄). A variety of control factors, including velocity, shear stress, and temperature outlines as well as a frictional factor and Nusselt number, are addressed in detail. Thermal radiation amplification and variable thermal conduction parameters appear to increase the efficiency of aircraft wings in terms of thermal transfer. Hybrid nanofluid is superior to conventional nanofluid in terms of heat transmission. Cu-EG has a low thermal efficiency between 3.8% and 4.8% than CoFe₂O₄-Cu/EG nanofluid.
