This paper studies entropy generation and irreversibility in a solar thermal collector using a hybrid nanofluid composed of glycol (C3H8O2) with copper and aluminum oxide, while modeling flow at a stagnation point with a Riga plate and a magnetic actuator. The authors analyze the system with the control volume finite element method and Runge–Kutta 4, and they validate the computational results using a machine-learning neural network. They report that the heat transfer rate increases substantially as the nanoparticle volume fraction varies, and they interpret this in terms of entropy generation/Bejan number for energy optimization. The paper does not discuss any limitation in the provided text. This paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.

Abstract

Advanced techniques are used to increase the efficiency of the energy assets and maximize the appliance efficiency of the main resources. In the recent study, the focus is paid to the solar collector to cover thermal radiation through optimization and enhance the performance of the solar panel. Hybrid nanofluids (HNs) consist of a base liquid (C3H8O2) glycol whereas copper (Cu), and aluminum oxide (Al2O3) are used as nanomaterials for formation (HNs). The flow of the stagnation point is considered in the presence of the Riga plate. The state of the solar thermal system is termed viva stagnation to control the additional heating through the flow variation in the collector loop. The inclusion of entropy generation and Bejan number formation is primarily conceived under the influence of physical parameters for energy optimization. The computational analysis was carried out utilizing the control volume finite element method (CVFEM), and Runge–Kutta 4 (RK-4) methods. The results are further validated through a machine learning neural networking procedure. The conclusions showed that the heat transfer rate is greatly upgraded with a variation of the nanoparticle's volume fraction. We expect this improvement to progress the stability of heat transfer in the solar power system.
