Thermal case classification of solar-powered cars for binary tetra hybridity nanofluid using Cash and Carp method with Hamilton-Crosser model
Abstract
Solar energy is the most important source of thermal energy that comes from the sun. This kind of energy has enormous potential applications in fields of technology such as photovoltaic panels, renewable power, solar light poles, and solar pumps used for water extraction. The era in which we are living is all about the applications of solar energy in industrial sectors most importantly in solar sports car manufacturing. This article presents a new way of thinking about the heat transport analyses of photovoltaic hybrid vehicles, by factoring Casson-Sutterby liquid with the inclusion of various effects like variable thermal conduction, thermal radiation, heat generation, and tetrahybrid nanoparticles. To solve the modelled equations in regards to both momentum and energy, another well-computational approach known as the Cash and Carp method was used. The effects of a wide variety of factors on temperature, shear stress, and velocity fields, as well as the surface drag coefficient and Nusselt number, are briefly described and illustrated in the form of tables and figures. It then found that the thermal radiation, heat production, and thermal conductivity parameters and insertion of agglomerative tetrhybrid nanoparticles in the base fluid amplify heat transfer rate, it has been shown that the performance of the solar car increases in terms of heat transition. In comparison to standard nanofluid, tetrahybrid nanofluid is the most effective medium for the transmission of heat. From the regression analysis, it is observed that the error in terms of Nusselt number is smaller 0.0151 for the case ε=1.5, and increases to 0.0151 in the case of ε=2.5. Relative percentage error is smaller 4.62% in the case of heat generation Q=0.7 but a maximum of 15.8% in the case of thermal radiation Rd=2.
