This work introduces the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics simulation to study the heat transfer and fluid flow phenomena in a photovoltaic/thermal system. Previous research predominantly focused on single-fluid systems, either air or water. However, integrating both fluids into the same collector promises improved efficiency and versatile applications. Hence, this study presents numerical simulations using ANSYS Fluent 2023 R2 software to analyze the main phenomena and the influence of operating conditions and materials in the performance of such type of equipment. Key parameters such as velocity can enhance thermal heat transfer and increase the water temperature. By exploring the feasibility and performance of photovoltaic/thermal collectors, this research contributes to advancing sustainable energy solutions.

摘要

This work introduces the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics simulation to study the heat transfer and fluid flow phenomena in a photovoltaic/thermal system. Previous research predominantly focused on single-fluid systems, either air or water. However, integrating both fluids into the same collector promises improved efficiency and versatile applications. Hence, this study presents numerical simulations using ANSYS Fluent 2023 R2 software to analyze the main phenomena and the influence of operating conditions and materials in the performance of such type of equipment. Key parameters such as velocity can enhance thermal heat transfer and increase the water temperature. By exploring the feasibility and performance of photovoltaic/thermal collectors, this research contributes to advancing sustainable energy solutions.
