| description | Abstract It is well known that solar energy is the main source of thermal energy coming from the sun responsible for huge operations in engineering studies. It can be seen in the technology of photovoltaic cells, solar streetlights, solar energy plates, and solar water pumping. This study is for investigating solar radiation as well as a method to improve the performance of the solar water pump (SWP) with the use of solar radiation along with nanotechnology. The thermal transfer performance of the pump is checked for the case of many impacts including heat radiations and variable thermal conductivity. An Oldroyd‐B nanofluid with entropy production analysis has been scrutinized as a working coolant liquid in the system. Graphene oxide (GO) and Cu nanoparticles have been employed in engine oil (EO) as the base liquid. It is noticed that the heat transfer performance of SWP increases in the case of amplification in thermal radiation and temperature‐dependent thermal conductivity characteristics. In comparison to low thermal conductivity nanofluid, high thermal conductivity nanofluid provides the best capability for heat transmission. The thermal efficiency of the used (GO/EG) nanofluid has been enhanced by between 7.70% and 26.68% than (Cu/EO) nanofluid. |
