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 v 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.
