    A solar collector is a device used to absorb energy from the sun by collecting solar radiation and turning it into electricity or heat. The material type and coating of a solar collector are utilized to enhance solar energy absorption. This research combines experimental and computational methods to examine the performance of a parabolic-type plate solar water heater (PTSWH). The nanoparticles-DI water at a rate of mass flow (MFR) of 0.5–3.0 kg/min in 0.5 kg/min increments were used in a tube-in-tube heat exchanger featuring dimpled inner tubes with a pressure-to-diameter (P/D) ratio of 3. The researchers examined the fluid flow patterns and heat transfer efficiency in a dimple texture tube using nanoparticles of TiO2, Al2O3, CuO, and SiO2 with a size range of 10–15 nm and a volume concentration (VC) of 0.1–0.5% in increments of 0.1%. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) was used to explore and verify the impact of nanoparticle concentration on the PTSWH. It was revealed that CuO /DI-H2O at a nanoparticles VC of 0.3% and a MFR of 2.5 kg/min yielded the best PTSWH performance. With a nanoparticle concentration of 0.3% and MFR of 2.5 kg/min, the efficiency of PTSWH was increased by approximately 34.3% for TiO2, 32.3% for Al2O3, 38.4% for CuO, and 36.4% for SiO2. The results also show that the solar water heater’s thermal efficiency rose steadily with the rise in MFR. At a MFR of 2.5 kg/min, Cu/DI-H2O was found to have a higher Nusselt number than TiO2/DI-H2O, Al2O3/DI-H2O, and SiO2/DI-H2O, respectively, by 10.5%, 8.2%, and 5%. TiO2/DI-H2O, Al2O3/DI-H2O, Cu/DI-H2O, and SiO2/DI-H2O nanoparticle-coated dimple texturing tubes all had lower friction coefficients than a plain tube did. Finally, a comparison was made between the experimental and simulated data, and the overall variation of ± 3.1% was found to be within an acceptable range. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

    The main objective of the study is to enhance the performance and emissions of hydrogen and biodiesel dual-fuel engines by optimizing injection timing and engine load using response surface methodology. The pilot fuel considered for this study is Algae biodiesel. A mono-cylinder water-cooled diesel engine is tested for three different pilot fuel injection timings (23 degrees BTDC, 26 degrees BTDC, and 29 degrees BTDC) and five different engine loads (20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100%). For a dual fuel operation, a maximum brake thermal efficiency of 28.21% and an 85% replacement of liquid charge was achieved at pilot fuel injection timing of 26 degrees BTDC and 100% load based on the experimental results. For the same setting of injection timing of 26 degrees BTDC, the emissions of CO and HC were significantly reduced by 12.12% and 36.13%, respectively, at the 80% load setting. While response surface optimum was found at 72.81% load and 25.73 degrees BTDC Injection timing. At this optimal operating parameter setting, a significant reduction of CO, HC, and NOx emissions by 20.98%, 29.15%, and 1.91%, respectively, was obtained while maintaining a comparable brake thermal efficiency of 25.06% and a replacement of liquid charge by 72.15%, respectively. Thus, a biodiesel-hydrogen dual-fuel diesel engine is one of the green solutions for power generation.
