“…The simplest method is the deployment of PCM on the backside of the PV system. Therefore, it is better to utilize PCM to cool the PV panels because it requires no extra energy [5]. The ideal PCM for cooling PV panels must have good thermal conductivity, large latent heat of fusion, chemical stability, and tolerable sub-cooling [6].…”

A solar photovoltaic (PV) system produces electrical energy from solar energy. This green, sustainable system has low energy conversion efficiency due to the rise in PV temperature throughout the day. In order to keep the temperature of the panels close to ambient, this study examines the usage of hydrated salt (HS36) as a Phase Change Material (PCM) for PV cooling. The primary goal of this experimental study is to cool the PV panel by introducing PCM behind the PV system (PV-PCM), thus increasing its performance. An energy and exergy performance assessment was carried out on PV and PV-PCM systems. The result indicates that placing a PCM over the back of the solar panel’s back reduced the operational temperature by 25.4% and increased the panel’s electrical efficiency by 17.5%. PV-PCM systems’ maximum exergy efficiency increased by 12.57%, and their exergy destruction ratio decreased by 12.49%. The proposed PV-PCM system with HS36 PCM increased the PV panel performance and can be deployed in the PV system.

“…They established via extensive experiments that copper (Cu) may be quite beneficial in reducing dangerous vehicle emissions amounts. Because cu is inexpensive and readily accessible, it is a suitable material for regulating the levels of tailpipe pollutants released by vehicles using IC engines [23,24]. The biodiesel based fuel was used to perform an investigation to test automotive exhaust pollution.…”

Due to the ever-growing challenge of pollutants emitted by vehicles, protection of the environment from the pollutants has become a focus of attention. The rising volume of traffic on our nation's roadways now poses a severe danger to the environment due to hazardous emissions, and the refueling availability and low maintenance of petrol fuel vehicles have prompted many to choose for petrol vehicles. Numerous experts have used a variety of strategies to decrease the amount of emissions produced by vehicles, but this sector still has a great deal of room for advancement. The objective of this work is to compare the emission characteristics of a four-stroke petrol engine with and without a nano zinc oxide (nano-ZnO) encased catalytic converter. The findings indicated that the nano-ZnO coated catalytic converter aided in reducing the CO, CO2, HC and NOx emissions by 41.3%, 71.4%, 48.2%, and 46.7%, respectively
