Abstract

Solar water pump plays an important role in utilizing renewable energy for several purposes, such as irrigation farming, community water supply and livestock watering. Regardless of the positive influence they have on the environment, these systems often experience difficult related to energy inefficiency. Therefore, the main prospective of this research to tackle this difficulty by investigating the potential of Oldroyd-B Ternary nanofluid to increase the heat transport efficiency and performance of SWP systems. The Ternary nanofluid consists of Silicon Dioxide (siO₂), Silver (Ag), Copper (Cu) nanoparticles suspended in Water (H₂O). Also, the employment of O-BHNF flowing in parabolic trough surface collector (PTSC) used inside SWP has been developed to evaluate thermal efficacy The wavelets and the Chebyshev Wavelet method is utilized to compute the numerical solutions. The outcome indicate that the temperature distribution boosted as the solar radiation parameter increases. The mixture of sio₂+ Ag + Cu/H₂o ternary nanofluid leads to high thermal radiative performance compared to hybrid with Ag + Cu/H₂o.
