Entropy analysis on ternary hybrid nanofluid flow in concentric cylinders under shape fracture: an analytical approach Abdelhakim Djalab, Mohamed Kezzar, Naveen Dwivedi, Farhan Lafta Rashid, Hayder I. Mohammed, Mohamed Rafik Sari, Ibrahim Mahariq, Mudhar A. Al-Obaidi, Abdellatif M. Sadeq Multiscale and Multidisciplinary Modeling Experiments and Design, 2026 The ternary hybrid nanofluids are in high demand in the context of engineering systems such as compact heat exchangers, rotating chemical reactors, and high-performance cooling of electronics engineering devices, which are seeking far more advanced thermal management solutions. This research provides an extensive computational model of a ternary hybrid nanofluid flow (molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ), graphene oxide (GO) and copper (Cu) in acetic acid–water base) between two turns comprising of concentric cylinders. The model has a unique combination of the influence of chemical reaction, thermal radiation, and the shape fracture of nanoparticles (spherical, cylindrical, platelet) to fill a considerable gap in the literature. The main aim is to create a strong mathematical model of this complicated system, define the heat generated in the system, and determine the effect of shape fracture on the thermal conductivity and fluid dynamics. The resulting governing nonlinear partial differential equations are then reduced to ordinary differential equations and solved through the use of the Adomian Decomposition Method (ADM) with the validation of the results by the Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM)-package, which reveals very good agreement (e.g., velocity profiles within 3% of benchmark studies). The most important quantitative results are that the flow velocity is increased with an increase in the Grashof number by half, and the radiation parameter may drop the temperature of the fluid by 20%. Moreover, nanoparticles in the form of plates produce approximately 8% more entropy than the spheres. These outcome proves that the forces of buoyancy, Brownian motion, and thermo-phoresis severely affect the flow and heat transfer. The findings present the critical information toward the optimisation of the thermal efficiency and design of advanced energy systems, which have a great contribution to the thermal engineering and sustainable energy technology.
Advancing sustainable solar thermal energy: A comprehensive review of mono, hybrid, and ternary nanofluids in evacuated tube solar collectors Farhan Lafta Rashid, Zainab Abdul Karim Alkhekany, Mudhar A. Al-Obaidi, Muhammad Asmail Eleiwi, Hayder I. Mohammed, Muhammed Abdelhameed, Ephraim Bonah Agyekum, Atef Chibani, Abdallah Bouabidi Chemical Thermodynamics and Thermal Analysis, 2026 This is a thorough systematic review of the research on the usage of mono, hybrid and ternary Nanofluids (NFs) in Evacuated Tube Solar Collectors (ETSCs) through the synthesis of recent published studies between 2020 to 2026 as per the Preferred Reporting Items of Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. It is shown that Mono Nanofluids (MNFs), including multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT)/Water and Al 2 O 3 /Water obtained 73.5% of energy efficiency and from 26.4% to 55.83% of exergy efficiency depending on the utilised base fluids; Hybrid Nanofluids (HNFs) such as FeO 4 /MWCNT and MgO/MWCNT. Also, Ternary Nanofluids (TNFs), such as MWCNT/Al 2 O 3 /MgO and TiO 2 /Al 2 O 3 /ZnO provide the best performance with a thermal efficiency of 86.9% and with higher heat absorption rates than mono and hybrid counterparts by 56.15%. The review also establishes that these gains can be synergistically combined through modification of the system, e.g. porous media, longitudinal fins, and mechanical vibrations. Nevertheless, the residual weaknesses lie in the areas of standardized stability procedures, long-term stability and reliability in the real world environments, as well as the full life cycle analysis. The results verify that the NF-based ETSCs can be optimised to deliver specific thermal efficiency beyond 85%, making them as advanced, sustainable heating technology of decarbonized heating that can be applied to scalability in the future as long as the research tackles the issue of economic viability and the design of integrated multi-physics modeling systems.
Membrane Technology for N-Nitrosamine Compounds Removal from Water: A Critical Review of Experimental and Simulation Practices and Enhancement Opportunities Mudhar A. Al-Obaidi, Iqbal M. Mujtaba Processes, 2026 N-nitrosamine compounds, a disinfection byproduct of chlorination and chloramination in water and wastewater treatment processes, are classified as a probable human carcinogen. The current review focuses on analysing the feasibility of membrane technology while examining the challenges and opportunities in the elimination of N-nitrosamine compounds, particularly NDMA, from wastewater. To systematically attain this goal, this paper uses a systematic literature review that screens and critically assesses peer-reviewed experimental and numerical published papers on N-nitrosamine removal, occasioning in 37 high-quality papers for synthesis. In this regard, a detailed analysis of experimental and numerical studies elaborates that conventional RO membranes often introduce a specific low removal of NDMA from wastewater due to their low molecular weight and neutral charge, which addresses a critical issue. The critical analysis of the experimental and numerical studies depicts that the membrane type, structural properties, and chemical interaction have a key role in the removal of NDMA. To systematically improve the NDMA removal, a wide set of investigations have explored innovative treatment methods, including Nano pore plugging and hydrophilic coatings. This demonstrates potential for improving NDMA removal, albeit at the penalty of reduced water permeability. Additionally, the heat treatment of membranes has attained a notable improvement, ensuing in NDMA rejection of up to 92%. A multi-stage RO configuration model has depicted a maximum NDMA rejection of 93.1%. The future research should focus on investigating possible improvement of NDMA removal from wastewater such as Nano pore plugging and hydrophilic coatings, besides optimising RO configurations and membrane designs with a deeper understanding of membrane fouling.
Improved Dhole Optimization Algorithm for Optimal Parameter Estimation of PEMFC Models for High-Fidelity Energy Conversion Ahmed K. Ali, Mudhar A. Al-Obaidi, Alhassan H. Ismail, M. N. Mohammed, Dhifaf Sadeq Algorithms, 2026 Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFCs) are crucial for the advancement of environmentally friendly hydrogen cars. It is one of the promising solutions for alternatives to conventional engines, primarily due to their ability to convert hydrogen into electricity. Fuel cell systems have a complex and non-linear mathematical model. Accurate identification of unknown parameters of the PEMFC mathematical model is an important aspect in energy conversion. This research intends to provide a novel meta-heuristic algorithm, which is known as the Improved Dhole Optimization Algorithm (IDOA), to estimate the unknown parameters of PEMFC models. The proposed IDOA is inspired by the collective hunting behavior of dholes. In this algorithm, candidate solutions are systematically arranged and dynamically updated to enhance the overall search process. The objective function is to minimize the sum of squared errors (SSE) between the actual and model-estimated voltages obtained using the proposed IDOA algorithm. In this research, three commonly known PEMFC benchmark models, NedStack PS6, BCS 500 W, and Horizon 500 W, are utilized to assess the performance of the IDOA algorithm. Also, the obtained results are compared against each other to validate their effectiveness. The comparative performance with an array of known optimization algorithms reported in the literature indicates that the IDOA algorithm has low estimation error, an excellent convergence rate, and superior robustness. Furthermore, these results support the appropriateness of the proposed IDOA algorithm for high-accuracy PEMFC modeling in energy conversion models.
Sustainability-Oriented Oxidative Desulfurization of Light Gas Oil Using a MoO3–Fe2O3/Al2O3–Carbon Nanofiber Nanocomposite Catalyst: Performance, Kinetic Modeling, and Process Optimization Aysar T. Jarullah, Ban A. Al-Tabbakh, Helal A. A. Saleem, Shymaa A. Hameed, Liqaa I. Saeed, Jasim I. Humadi, Mudhar A. Al-Obaidi, Dhifaf Sadeq, Alhassan H. Ismail, M. N. Mohammed, Iqbal M. Mujtaba Sustainability Switzerland, 2026 In the present study, a kinetic model was developed for the process of oxidative desulfurization of light gas oil with 7329 ppm sulfur using a newly synthesized nanocomposite catalyst. The batch reactor experiments were conducted at different thermal conditions (313–373 K) and reaction times (30–90 min) to explain this endeavor of desulfurization performance as a function of these variables, targeting the design of a reliable reactor system. Carbon nanofibers (CNFs) were integrated into the support γ-Al2O3 at various concentrations of 5%, 7.5%, and 10% to improve mechanical properties, surface area, and distribution of active metals. The nanocomposite support was impregnated with molybdenum trioxide (MoO3) and iron oxide (Fe2O3) to form four variants of the catalyst: CAT-1 with 10% MoO3 + 5% Fe2O3/Al2O3 + 5% CNF, CAT-2 with 10% MoO3 + 5% Fe2O3/Al2O3 + 7.5% CNF, CAT-3 with 10% MoO3 + 5% Fe2O3/Al2O3 + 10% CNF, and CAT-4 with 10% MoO3 + 5% Fe2O3/Al2O3 with no CNF. CAT-3 had the best effectiveness for sulfur removal with 87.5% at 373 K and a reaction time of 90 min. The model predicts a maximum sulfur removal rate of 99.86% under optimal conditions of 550 K and 200 min (for an initial sulfur concentration of 7329 ppm). The experimental and modeling results therefore indicate the potential of the developed catalyst system, while the optimum condition at 550 K and 200 min should be interpreted as a model-predicted outcome. The development of such highly efficient nanocatalysts for deep desulfurization is a crucial advancement in green chemistry, directly contributing to the production of cleaner fuels to mitigate air pollution and supporting the aims of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure) and SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production). From a sustainability perspective, the proposed ODS system supports cleaner fuel production and reduced sulfur-derived emissions, while operating-condition optimization helps improve process efficiency in support of more sustainable refining strategies.
Sustainable manufacturing of 3D-printed polylactic acid parts reinforced with walnut shell/epoxy composites Rasool R. K. Al-Arkawazi, Ahmed Qays Khudhair, Ahmed Rahman Khudadad, Mudhar A. Al-Obaidi, Abdellatif M. Sadeq Advances in Mechanical Engineering, 2026 The mechanical properties of hybrid composites prepared by 3D-printing Polylactic Acid (PLA) injected with a syringe with a compound comprising 35% walnut shells and epoxy resin are evaluated in the current research and aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) attentive to responsible consumption and responsible production (SDG 12) and climate action (SDG 13). The study encourages recycling of agricultural waste in order to enhance sustainability in production. There are nine samples that are formed with different design parameters, such as the printing angle (450, 50, 55, 20), infill density (10, 15, 20), and the number of wall thickness (1, 2, and 3) each wall is 0.4 mm thick. Tensile tests, flexural tests, and impact tests are mechanical tests that are conducted to test the characteristics of the synthesized samples. The results indicate that model (L5 has (angle of print 50°, Infill percentage 15%, and three walls)) attains a maximum tensile strength of 30.9 MPa, which is a 31% reduction compared to the pure PLA. Specifically, this is an improvement of 37% than the epoxy and 35% walnut shell composite. Moreover, the L5 displays an elongation at break of 4.5%. Model L7 (angle of print 55°, Infill percentage 10%, and three walls) achieves a maximum flexural strength of 42.5 MPa and elastic modulus of 2147.6 MPa. This is corresponded to reductions of 24% and a 46% if compared to pure PLA. When the maximum flexural strength is compared to the sample of the walnut and epoxy composite, this increases by almost 73%. Checking the highest impact strength of 5 kJ/m 2 , this is possible in case of model L5, which is a 27% decrease as compared to pure PLA, yet 21% higher than the walnut and epoxy composite. The Taguchi method is employed to make a systematic evaluation of the contribution of each variable. This indicated that the wall thickness is the main factor influencing tensile and flexural strength, while printing angle is the key factor affecting impact test. The multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) approach is incorporated to weight the relevant mechanical properties. This shows different weight factors of 33% for impact strength, 33% for flexural strength, and 34% for tensile strength. Clearly, model L5 is found to be the optimal model following this analysis, presenting the potential for sustainable manufacturing practices that support SDGs by combining waste materials into high-performance products.

Solar desalination, particularly through conical solar stills (CSSs), presents a promising approach due to its environmental sustainability and economic viability, openly supporting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially Goal 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation). The current paper demonstrates a thorough review of CSS technology development, signifying performance-improving modifications intend to upgrade water productivity. Several improvements have been achieved through internal modifications such as the incorporation of nanofluids with energy storage materials comprising stainless-steel balls, black glass balls and graphite fins in addition to optimized geometries utilizing egg steel trays. Referring to this review, the implementation of nanofluids has resulted in a maximum daily yield boost of 2.81 L/m 2 , yet stainless-steel balls have improved productivity by 95.58% and graphite fins have delivered an exergy efficiency rise by 574.1%. Also, the external modification including evacuated tube collectors with photovoltaic thermal systems and reflective mirrors have entailed performance improvements ranging between 33.67% and 74.14%. CSS designs demonstrate better performance than traditional systems based on optimal setups that achieve a water productivity rate of 10.26 L/m 2 day and a thermal efficiency rate beyond 69%. Economically, the advantages reflected in this review signify potential and water cost reductions of more than 50% and short payback periods starting from 2.75 years. Although the development of upgraded solar water desalination delivers numerous benefits, existed difficulties pertain regarding system performance optimization and simplicity management across various environmental situations.

Al-Musawi Results in Engineering, 2026 • Introduces the solar dryers-integrated PV panels as a sustainable technique for drying agricultural products and preserving food quality. • Assesses efficiency of different kinds of solar dryers integrated to PV technology —direct, indirect, and hybrid systems towards improvement of drying competence. • Temperature, airflow, and humidity effectively impact the performance of solar dryers-integrated PV panel systems. • Further enhancements are assured for solar dryers-integrated PV panel systems using phase change materials and heat recovery systems. • Integrated solar technologies are essential to reduce post-harvest losses, specifically in off-grid agricultural communities. This review paper examines the integration of solar dryers with photovoltaic (PV) panels, offering a sustainable and energy-efficient solution for drying agricultural products and preserving food quality. Various kinds of solar dryers including direct, indirect, and hybrid systems are examined while evaluating their performance when integrated to PV panels. PV panels can enhance the efficiency and reliability of solar dryers, especially in remote or off-grid areas, by providing a steady power source for auxiliary systems like fans, sensors, and controllers. Key factors influencing performance, such as temperature, airflow, and humidity, are analysed, alongside advancements in materials and technologies that improve dryer efficiency, comprising phase change materials (PCMs) and heat recovery systems. The results show that an increase in the number of PV collectors can improve thermal energy output from 2.63 to 7.70 kWh/day and electrical energy from 0.23 to 20 kWh/day. Also, the drying time can be reduced by 16.6% to 36.6% using the sun-tracking systems. Specifically, neem leaves assure the reduction of moisture content from 4.56% to 0.07% (dry basis). Finally, the thermal efficiency can be ranged between 43.75% to 54.86% as a consequence to using the hybrid solar dryers. Accordingly, the widespread deployment of such integrated solar technologies is a critical strategy for enhancing food security by drastically reducing post-harvest losses, while simultaneously advancing the objectives of SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy) and SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), particularly in off-grid agricultural communities.
