This study presents a comprehensive experimental and numerical investigation to evaluate the performance of PV/T systems equipped with different cooling configurations: holed baffle, segmental baffle,
The addition of baffles in the air duct improves the coefficient and therefore the performance of the hybrid photovoltaic/thermal solar collector. The performance of the hybrid photovoltaic-thermal air collector is
Enhancing the amount of flow field and heat transfer characteristic is an effective way to increase the performance of SUT plants. The velocity magnitude and heat transfer characteristic can be increased by
The solar chimney power plant system (abbreviated as SCPPS) is a clean and pollution-free facility for generating electric power. To improve the generating efficiency, a bank of baffles can be arranged
The solar updraft tower (SUT) is a renewable power generation system that uses the natural convection phenomenon of the ground''s air heated by solar radiation. The baffle is a thermo-fluid dynamic structure that
The solar collector is equipped with baffles connected to the top of the absorber and extending to the bottom of the collector to allow more heat to be transferred from the PV cells to the working fluid,
In this study, the positive and negative thermo-fluid dynamic effects of the baffle, which vary depending on the installation location, are quantitatively analyzed, and the best location is predicted where
Solar updraft towers (SUTs) are used for renewable power generation, taking advantage of the thermal updraft air flow caused by solar energy. Aerodynamic devices have been applied to SUTs to improve their performance
The pressure fields, temperature fields, velocity fields, and power outputs of different models under the different baffles are discussed.
Improving the thermal performance of solar air heaters (SAHs) is essential for maximizing solar energy utilization in sustainable heating systems. This study investigates the influence of...
