This study examines the impact of solar-powered tractor on agricultural productivity and energy
efficiency. The implementation of solar energy in tractors has the potential to reduce dependence
on non-renewable energy sources, minimize carbon emissions, and promote sustainable farming
practices. This research investigates the reduction of energy consumption and enhancement of
productivity by evaluating magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) entropy production through the flow of
nanofluids containing copper-engine oil (Cu-EO) and silver-engine oil (Ag-EO). The study also
evaluates the effectiveness of thermal transport in solar-powered tractors through several properties
such
as
solar
thermal
radiation,
viscous
dissipation,
slippery
velocity,
and
porous
media.
The

in

nanofluid, with the aim of assessing its energy equilibrium and the effects of diverse
physical parameters. In order to enable numerical investigation, similarity variables were
implemented to transform partial differential equations into ordinary differential equations, and
the Chebyshev collocation spectral method was applied to solve the governing equations. It has
been revealed that the Ag
EO Williamson nanofluid have a smoother flow compared to the Cu
EO mixture fluid. Furthermore, Williamson-nanofluid demonstrate superior thermal conductivity
and heat transfer characteristics compared to the base fluid, making them appropriate for utilization
in
cooling
systems
and
heat

in
