Abstract
Innovative technologies necessitate extra energy, which can be captured from environmentally sustainable, renewable solar energy. Here, heat and
mass transfer through stirring nanofluids in solar collectors for direct absorption of sunlight are pronounced. The similarity transformation served to
turn mathematically regulated partial differential equations into sets of nonlinear higher-order ordinary differential equations. These equations have
been resolved by the homotopy analysis method manipulating, BVPh2.0 package in Mathematica 12.1. Validations are justified through comparison.
Afterward, stronger magnetic field interactions delay the nanofluids mobility. Temperature increases with thermal radiation and Biot numbers.
Entropy formation and nanoparticle concentration dwindle when Schmidt’s number surges.
