Nowadays, with the advantages of nanotechnology and solar radiation, the research of Solar Water Pump (SWP) production has become a trend. In this article, Prandtl–Eyring hybrid nanofluid (P-EHNF) is chosen as a working fluid in the SWP model for the production of SWP in a parabolic trough surface collector (PTSC) is investigated for the case of numerous viscous dissipation, heat radiations, heat source, and the entropy generation analysis. By using a well-established numerical scheme the group of equations in terms of energy and momentum have been handled that is called the Keller-box method. The velocity, temperature, and shear stress are briefly explained and displayed in tables and figures. Nusselt number and surface drag coefficient are also being taken into reflection for illustrating the numerical results. The first finding is the improvement in SWP production is generated by amplification in thermal radiation and thermal conductivity variables. A single nanofluid and hybrid nanofluid is very crucial to provide us the efficient heat energy sources. Further, the thermal efficiency of MoS2–Cu/EO than Cu–EO is between 3.3 and 4.4% The second finding is the addition of entropy is due to the increasing level of radiative flow, nanoparticles size, and Prandtl–Eyring variable.

“…The alternative diesel-driven pumps are associated with high operational costs and are prone to service gaps due to insufficient fuel supply and technical defects. Therefore, a reliable and cost-effective supply of irrigation water is a core problem in many rural areas in developing and emerging countries (Garg, 1987). In cases where the water source is situated below the level of the farmlands, getting the water to where it is needed can be challenging (Dzvurumi, 2006).…”

“…The actual water delivered is reduced further by the energy efficiency. Hence, for an energy efficiency of 70 %, the water delivered will be 70 % of 20 %, which yields 14 % (Young, 2016;Lansford and Dugan, 1941). Suppliers of ram pumps often provide tables giving expected volume ratios based on actual tests.…”

“…Suppliers of ram pumps often provide tables giving expected volume ratios based on actual tests. The amount of water delivered to the end for use will depend on the source flow, the height of supply reservoir above the pump, the height of delivery site above the pump, the length and size of the delivery pipe and the drive line, the pump efficiency, and the size of the pump (Lansford and Dugan, 1941;Taye, 1998;U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service, 2007).…”

Abstract. Many rural farming areas are located far from a reliable electricity supply; hence, obtaining a reliable source of water for crops and livestock can prove to be an expensive venture. A water pump operating on the water-hammer effect requires no external power source and can serve as an effective means of pumping water to a higher altitude once a reliable supply is available. A low-cost small water-hammer head pump was designed to operate on the water-hammer head effect created by the sudden stoppage of a flowing fluid. This design consisted of an inlet section followed by the pump body, a pressure section and an outlet. The experimental set-up for testing the water-hammer head pump was designed with a variable head input and an adjustable head output. For each test configuration, a total of 10 samples of pump supply water and pump exhausted water were collected. The water samples were collected for 30 s in each case. The results showed a non-linear variation of water flow with respect to pump outlet height. The pump was capable of delivering water to a maximum height of 8 to 10 times the height of the input head. The pump operated at average efficiencies of 26 %, 16 % and 6 % when the delivery height was 2, 4 and 6 times the input head height, respectively. There was a 5 % incremental decrease in pump efficiency as the delivery height increased in increments of the corresponding input head height.
