Abstract
The quest for alternative and ecosystem-friendly energy sources to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and minimize cost has stimulated studies on various energy-generating techniques. Solar energy is one of the renewable and low-cost power generation sources for domestic and industrial usage. To optimize the performance of solar power, nanofluids can be considered as the based material. This study focuses on the concentrated power generation through hybridization of electromagnetic Williamson aluminium oxide (Al2O3) and cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4) nanofluids in water (H2O) with nonlinear radiation. Without the deformation of the material, the fluid is driven by nonlinear thermal convection and pressure gradient in a bounded device. The developed, transformed boundary value mathematical model is solved by the Chebyshev scheme coupled with the collocation integrating method. A theoretical analysis is carried out for the dependent-parameter sensitivities on the flow rate, heat distribution and entropy generation to enhance and maintain continuous power generation. The investigation revealed that the hybridized nanofluid enhanced the concentrated thermal power for about 12.23 %, and the fluid velocity field is raised by 3.45 % with increasing dependent parameters. The Williamson material term optimized the thermodynamic equilibrium of entropy generation.
