Meanwhile, the complex multiphase heat-flow of the casing presents a challenge to the performance evaluation and heat dissipation improvement. To address this bottleneck, pseudo-transient heat-flow coupled modeling and triangular spacer ribs (TSRs) within the casing are proposed to predict multiphase heat-flow performance and enhance heat transfer with less flow friction losses (viscous heat), respectively. The model realizes both transient behavior prediction and steady-state performance evaluation of multiphase heat-flow by the thermal network model assisted CFD model. The results show that TSRs significantly enhance Nusselt coefficient (<em>Nu</em>) and reduce skin friction coefficient (<em>C<sub>f</sub></em>) under all operating conditions. The higher <em>Nu</em> of TSRs benefits from the flow separation and bearing vortices, which increase the near-wall temperature gradient. In addition, the bearing vortices and thicker lubricant layer between TSRs reduce <em>C<sub>f</sub></em> by diminishing momentum exchange. Considering these factors, a full-condition optimization framework based on the reverse entropy weight assignment strategy is constructed to find the configuration parameters with the higher <em>Nu</em> and lower <em>C<sub>f</sub></em> for all operating conditions.

However, SHS suffers from the problems of phase separation and supercooling in phase change heat storage and deliquescent caking in thermochemical heat storage, and has a common problem of corrosion, which hinders its commercialization and a wide practical application.

Solar PV cooling can prevent this and improve performance, especially in hot regions. This work attempts to develop a novel, economic, and efficient bi-fluid cooling technology to reduce temperature rise and enhance the overall energy output of hybrid PVT systems. The proposed bi-fluid cooling system involves the use of an absorber plate integrated with a locally available wire-on-tube (serpentine-shaped tube) heat exchanger mounted on the back side of the PVT system for cooling water flow. The heat exchanger is also equipped with air passages for air circulation and natural convection cooling. This type of heat exchanger, which uses bi-fluid cooling technique, can significantly enhance the heat dissipation generated by the solar PV cells, improving the overall performance of the system. Three identical cooling systems made of copper (PVT-Cu), aluminum (PVT-Al), and stainless steel (PVT-Steel) were proposed, studied, and compared to achieve optimal system performance. A life cycle cost analysis (LCCA) was also performed, and the data obtained were compared with those of a conventional PV-standard system to evaluate the feasibility and annual performance of the systems. The developed 3D numerical model of the PVT systems integrated with the proposed bi-fluid cooling systems was simulated using Ansys Fluent 2024. The developed numerical model was also validated with experimental data from the previous study.

These issues complicate air conditioning systems and slow thermal response, making it challenging to achieve efficient cooling and dehumidification simultaneously. This study introduces a novel radiant-convective terminal based on a micro heat pipe array which integrates cooling and dehumidification functions. This design improves heat transfer efficiency and accelerates system response via forced convection. Experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of water supply temperature, water flow rate, and wind speed on the terminal’s cooling and dehumidification performance. Additionally, a quantitative analysis of its performance characteristics was carried out. The results demonstrate that, under forced convection conditions, the thermal response speed of the terminal is significantly enhanced, with the surface temperature stabilizing within approximately 20 min.
