Numerical and ensemble machine learning-based investigation of the energy and exergy yields of a concentrating photovoltaic thermal device equipped with a perforated twisted tube turbulator

The current research was carried out with the aim of numerically investigating the effect of employing a perforated twisted tube turbulator on the energy and exergy yields of a concentrating photovoltaic thermal (PVT) device. The simulations were performed in 4 different Reynolds numbers (Re) (i.e....

The simulations were performed in 4 different Reynolds numbers (Re) (i.e. 500, 1000, 1500 and 2000) and considering 4 different twist distance (TD) (i.e. L/25, L/50, L/70, and L/100) for the non-perforated turbulator and three different perforated turbulators (with 1, 2, and 3 holes) with TD = L/100.
