“…The results showed that the overall energy e ciency of the studied layouts varied from 61.53 to 111.49%, while the overall exergy e ciency ranged between 14.18 and 17.46%. Another study presented by Salman et al [35] who investigated experimentally and numerically the effect of different factors consisting of coolant mass ow rate, solar radiation and porosity of the added porous media on the performances of the PVT. Water is used as the heat transfer uid, and the channel is fully lled with plastic metal beads as the porous media.…”

Hybrid photovoltaic thermal PVT solar collectors are a good option to produce electrical power and thermal energy simultaneously from solar radiation, where the transfer uid circulating in this system works as a coolant, and at once, it gains additional heat to produce heat. This study is based on a numerical investigation, and aims to improve the performances of a hybrid photovoltaic thermal (PVT)collectorby using porous media, and taking into account the air buoyancy force effect (i.e., natural convection effect).For this purpose, the impacts of panel tilt angle (α), Richardson number (Ri), thickness of the porous layer (Ep) and Darcy number (Da) on the PVT system performances including its velocity contours, thermal eld, thermal and electrical e ciencies are examined. The obtained results showed that by taking into account the buoyancy force, an enhancement in both electrical and thermal e ciencies is observed which can reach up 9.88% and 10% respectively if the PVT is erected without porous layer. Moreover, in the case of the buoyancy force is neglected, the integration of porous media under speci c values of the studied parameters can enhance both electrical and thermal e ciencies by more than 26% and 38%, respectively compared to the classic layout of the PVT system.

Energi matahari salah satu sumber energi yang dapat dikonversikan menjadi energi listrik melalui photovoltaic cell. Salah satu tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mengetahui performa modul photovoltaic cell ketika menggunakan pendingin fan dan heat sinks. Pada penelitian ini menggunakan modul photovoltaic cell dan perangkat perangkat microcontroller menggunakan Arduino untuk menjalankan program sensor suhu dan daya listrik. Parameter yang diukur dalam pelitian ini meliputi suhu photovoltaic cell, tegangan, arus, dan daya yang dihasilkan photovoltaic cell. Pengujian dilakukan pada modul photovoltaic cell tanpa pendingin, photovoltaic dengan pendingin fan, dan photovoltaic dengan pendingin heat sinks. Pengujian dilakukan langsung di luar ruangan dan terkena sinar matahari langsung. Dari hasil pengujian ditunjukkan modul photovoltaic cell dengan menggunakan pendingin menghasilkan daya lebih tinggi dibandingkan modul photovoltaic cell tanpa pendingin. Daya tertinggi yang dicapai photovoltaic cell dengan pendingin fan.

Nowadays, many industrial and modern applications depend on heat transport in porous zones. An experimental study of the natural convection heat transfer in a corrugated cavity with dimensions of (200, 250, 300) mm in length, a width of 200 mm, a depth of 27 mm, and an amplitude of 30 mm was filled with porous materials: glass balls (3, 6, 10) mm and alumina balls (6) mm, where the water was the working fluid. The top surface was exposed to the environment, while the bottom surface was subjected to constant heat flux (300, 500, 700, 900, 1100 W/m2), The front face, back face, and sides were insulated. In this study, temperature distribution, modified Rayleigh number, and Nusselt number values are foremost criteria, which are presented for three levels of aspect ratio. The influence of various aspect ratios on heat transfer is investigated. The results showed that the heat transfer coefficient decreases with the increase in aspect ratio. The highest value is when aspect ratio = 1. The enhanced Rayleigh number decreases as the aspect ratio increases by 10%.
