Özet
Solar power is the primary thermal energy source from the sunlight. This research has carried out the study of solar aircraft with solar radiation in enhancing efficiency. The thermal transfer inside the solar aircraft wings using a nanofluid past a parabolic surface trough collector (PTSC) is investigated thoroughly. The source of heat is regarded as solar radiation. For several impacts, such as porous medium, thermal radiation, and varying heat conductivity, the heat transmission performance of the wings is examined. By using the tangent hyperbolic nanofluid (THNF), the entropy analysis has been performed. The modeled momentum and energy equations are managed using the well-established numerical methodology known as the finite difference method. Two distinct kinds of nano solid-particles have been examined, such as Copper (Cu) and Zirconium dioxide (ZrO2), while Engine Oil (EO) being regarded as a based fluid. Different diagram parameters will be reviewed and revealed as figures and tables on speed, shear stress, temperature, and the surface drag coefficient and Nuselt number. It is observed that in terms of heat transfer for amplification of thermal radiation and changeable thermal conductance parameters, the performance of the aircraft wings raises. In contrast to traditional fluid, nanofluid is the best source of heat transmission. Cu-EO's thermal efficiency over ZrO2-EG falls to the minimum level of 12.6% and has reached a peak of 15.3%.
