Abstract

This study aims to show the role of the stagnation point flow in solar optimization in the presence of a Riga plate. This requirement is conceivable in the case of solar energy management with a suitable solar collector covering and visual thermal optimization. Solar energy radiation and thermal convection of glycol (C 3 H 8 O 2 )-based aluminum oxide (Al 2 O 3 ) and copper (Cu) nanoparticles were used for a solar collector, and were studied in terms of the stagnation point flow theoretically. Stagnation refers to the state of a solar thermal system in which the flux varies in the collection loop to control the extra heating. The CVFEM code was used to analyze the flow in the case of represented stagnation using the FEA-Tools multiple physics software that manages partial derivative equations (PDEs). The streamlined patterns and energy contours for different cases were studied in detail. The transformation equations were treated with the numerical method (RK-4 technique) and showed strong agreement of the physical results corresponding to the initial conditions and boundaries. The results showed that hybrid nanofluids have the advanced capability to enhance the thermal performance of the base solvent and provide uniform distribution to the solar panel. The solar optimization and uniform thermal expansion results are displayed graphically.
