The effect of variation in mass flow rate and solar irradiance on temperature uniformity and thermal performance of photovoltaic thermal: A simulated CFD study
Although, the effect of mass flow rate and solar irradiance variation is present in literature, it is still of significant interest to investigate the extent of the effect especially when utilizing a custom absorber design. In this paper, the effect of changing the mass flow rate and solar irradianc...
