This research study is concerned with developing a mathematical model for an Evacuated Tube Solar Collector (ETSC) that utilizes a Hybrid Nanofluid flow in a manifold. The model consists of a set of the partial differential equations that, using the dimensional analysis approach, are reduced to a dimensionless system. The exact solution method, assisted by the Mathematica program, is used to solve the system. The study examines the impact of certain factors on flow and heat transmission, including horizontal velocity, temperature variation, heat source, magnetic field, Prandtl Number, and Eckert Number, and provides a detailed analysis of the results. The key findings of the analysis revealed that an increase in hybrid nanoparticle volume effects in a reduce in velocity and heat transfer coefficient. Additionally, elevated heat source and Prandtl number correspond to an increased heat transfer coefficient.
