Abstract

The current research used water base aluminium oxide (Al₂O₃) nanofluid as a coolant in a photovoltaic thermal system, and established a 3-dimensional CFD model to investigate the thermal performance of a Photovoltaic system with and without cooling. Ansys software 18.2 is used to investigate heat transfer and fluid flow in the photovoltaic system. Further Ansys fluent software is used to model the heat transfer between the panel layers with the absorber plate and the nanofluid, whereas the Ansys steady-state heat transfer software is used to simulate solely the heat transmission between solar-PV panel layers and natural convection. Sun hours (solar radiation) heat transfer is not modelled, on the PV panel layers a variable heat flux is investigated. DesignModeler software of Ansys is used to create the geometry simulation for the CFD analysis tool and Ansys Meshing software is used to mesh it. Finally, the heat transfer results were obtained with and without cooling at different heat fluxes 850 w/m², 950 w/m², 1050 w/m² with a constant flow rate of nanofluid 30 kg/h having volume 0.5% concentration of nano-particles and PV/T system maintain temperature with varying heat flux at a lower level.
