Abstract

PTSCs (parabolic trough solar collectors) are widely employed in solar-thermal applications to attain high temperatures. The purpose of this study is to determine how much entropy is created when Powell-Eyring nanofluid (P-ENF) flows across porous media on a horizontal plane under thermal jump circumstances. The flow in PTSC was generated by nonlinear surface stretching, thermal radiation, and Cattaneo-Christov heat flux, which was utilized to compute heat flux in the thermal boundary layer. Using a similarity transformation approach, partial differential equations were converted into ordinary differential equations with boundary constraints. Then, the boundary restrictions and partial differential equations were merged to form a single set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. To obtain approximate solutions to ordinary differential equations, the Keller-Box approach is utilized. Nanofluids derived from silver- and copper-based engine oil (EO) has been employed as working fluids. The researchers observed that changing the permeability parameter reduced the Nusselt number while increasing the skin frictional coefficient. Total entropy variation was also calculated using the Brinkman number for flow rates with Reynolds number and viscosity changes. The key result is that thermal efficiency is inversely proportional to particular entropy production. For example, using Cu-EO nanofluid instead of Ag-EO nanofluid increased the heat transport rate efficiency to 15–36%.
