Nanofluid-based photovoltaic thermal solar collector with nanoparticle-enhanced phase change material (Nano-PCM) and twisted absorber tubes

Photovoltaic thermal (PVT) collectors convert solar energy into thermal and photovoltaic energy. The thermal performance of a PVT collector with a twisted absorber tube and nanoparticle-enhanced phase change material (Nano-PCM) was evaluated. The experiments were aimed to evaluate the photovoltaic,...
