Abstract:In this study, we aimed to improve the performance of the photovoltaic-thermal (PV/T) system by incorporating phase change material (PCM) into the heat exchanger. A new design for the finned tube heat exchanger layout was introduced, and a comprehensive mathematical model was developed to analyze the heat transfer process and operational efficiency of the PV/T system. The temperature variation of the PV/T system was simulated and validated using real climatic conditions in Baghdad and Tehran. To conduct our an… Show more
