Preface
Energy and environment are the two key assets as well as challenges for the survival of
human beings in the universe. Nowadays, environmental and energy-related issues
are prominent and challenging which are facing humanity. Modern technologies
are enough capable of encountering problems related to renewable energies and
conducting environmental remediation. Therefore, it is important to acknowledge
the interactions among energy, environment, and technology to drive society moving
and forward to civilization. The sustainability of the environment is directly linked
with global climate change and pollutions, such as air, soil, and water. Climate change
is still a controversial and even complicated aspect in most developed countries.
Along with the remit of technology, direct evidence from research, awareness of
people, and government initiatives should also play a collaborative role in encoun-
tering issues and challenges of climate and ecology. Meanwhile, the existing tech-
nological setups can offer to eliminate/minimize the environmental pollutions from
its various sources like heavy metals, organic compounds, biological or radiation
hazards, oil spills, and microplastics, etc. Recent advancement in technologies for
environmental applications, for instance, sensing and remediation, has been vividly
improved by the use of nanomaterials and nanoparticles, which are proved to be the
emerging and evolving of environmental nanotechnology.
This book presents a very useful and readable/valuable collection of chapters
associated with recent developments in energy, environment, and nanotechnology
including modelling and simulation of nanofluids dynamics. This will help to throw
light on cutting-edge research and will be a ready reference for the researchers
working in this arena of academia. This book mainly emphasizes technical expan-
sions linked with energy, nanotechnology applications, energy storage, solar photo-
voltaic, and various other related areas. Readers will find this book useful for research
contribution as well as it can also refer to as a reference book for courses for graduate
and undergraduate students. This book will provide insights related to various forms
of nanotechnological applications in green buildings, environmental and electro-
chemical, solar distillation systems, green energy, storage tank of the SWH system,
solar concentrator system’s receiver, solar adsorption refrigeration system, and CFD

vi Preface
simulations of various aspects of nanofluids/hybrid nanofluids, which are particu-
larly useful and valuable for the betterment of society, culture, and ultimately human
beings in the universe.
The early chapters of the book focus on the environmental impact in India and
abroad along with the techniques to preserve it. They discuss how to improve
carbon footprints and development of energy-efficient buildings. Mediocre chap-
ters of the book discuss the energy materials’ development and their uses for
the Sustainable Development Goals. They primarily discuss the use of different
materials including nanomaterials for energy efficiency. Various applications such
as food drying and water heating using energy storage materials have also been
highlighted in these chapters. Later chapters of this book emphasize on the use
of nanofluids/nanoparticles/composite nanoparticles for various applications in
energy systems and nanotechnologies. Some of these studies highlight the compu-
tational modelling and simulation-based findings which are very important to
predict/estimate the dynamical behaviour of a system to be designed. Lastly, the
chapters report the physical and chemical behaviours of hybrid nanofluids flow driven
by emerging pumping mechanisms through the complex geometries which are appli-
cable in various nanotechnology-based systems. The chapters included in this book
cover various environmental aspects, renewable energy and energy storage-based
systems, and nanofluids/hybrid nanofluids-based analysis for the development of
nanotechnologies which will be very much useful and ready information for future
applications of engineers, industrialists, and researchers.
