Abstract

The modern world uses sun-based thermal radiation and nanotechnology to promote new technologies. In addition to solar thermal aircraft, photovoltaic cells, and sun-based hybrid nanofluids, solar energy is the primary source of heat derived from the absorption of sunlight. Researchers are currently investigating the application of nanotechnology to sun-based thermal radiation with the intent of enhancing the efficiency of aircraft flight. This study is focused on the research of heat transport via employing hybrid nanofluid on the interior of solar wings using a parabolic trough solar collector (PTSC) to enrich the investigations of the solar aircraft wing. In addition, the thermodynamics of entropy production for steady tangent hyperbolic fluid is examined for its energy balance and usefulness for significant physical influenced parameters. This study examines the viscoelastic properties of the thermal transfer process of two distinct kinds of nano solid particles, zirconium dioxide and copper (Cu), with non-Newtonian EG (ethylene glycol) as the base fluid. To achieve the model's aims, a novel solution, namely wavelets and the Chebyshev wavelets method (CWM), was employed to solve the velocity, energy equation, and entropy generation. .
