Abstract
Photovoltaic thermal (PVT) systems offer an attractive prospect to produce thermal and electricity powers when used as the building envelope. The present numerical analysis is performed intending to evaluate the thermal, electrical, and overall efficiencies of a PVT unit with a corrugated serpentine absorber tube filled with the AO/water nanofluid. The influence of Reynolds number () and nanoparticle concentration () on the performance metrics of the system is analyzed. The result indicated that within the range of 0–1%, the increment in from 500 to 2000 diminishes the PV panel temperature by 3.13–3.32%, while pressure drop boosts by 5480.95–5580.06%. The increase in from 0% to 1%, however, declines the PV panel temperature and pumping power by 0.43–0.62% and 1.25–2.97%, respectively. The range of changes in the overall efficiency was 60.38–90.45%, the maximum and minimum of which belong to = 2000&=1% and = 500&=0%, respectively. The results of artificial neural network (ANN) modeling presented an accurate function for estimation of the overall efficiency of the studied PVT unit based on the and with the R-squared coefficient of determination of R = 0.99602.
期刊介绍:
International Communications in Heat and Mass Transfer serves as a world forum for the rapid dissemination of new ideas, new measurement techniques, preliminary findings of ongoing investigations, discussions, and criticisms in the field of heat and mass transfer. Two types of manuscript will be considered for publication: communications (short reports of new work or discussions of work which has already been published) and summaries (abstracts of reports, theses or manuscripts which are too long for publication in full). Together with its companion publication, International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, with which it shares the same Board of Editors, this journal is read by research workers and engineers throughout the world.
