The operational temperature highly influences the efficiency of solar photovoltaic (PV) module, in which high decreases output power accordingly. In this work, a polycrystalline PV module is modified using finned phase change material (PCM) panel attached to rear as thermal energy storage unit decrease and regulate operating under hot weather conditions southern Iraq. For purpose, local Iraqi paraffin wax used PCM loaded into galvanized steel that has internal smooth wavy fins improve poor...
In the heat transfer, fluid flow and energy fields, baffles are an advanced enhancer to improve transfer mixing by working as obstacle particles then increasing turbulence. The present paper numerically investigates thermal performance of a circular pipe with centralized baffle in two arrangements, Reynolds number (Re) (ranging from 10,000-50,000) under constant wall flux boundary conditions. Ansys Fluent software is used solve field considering six conical different Pitch ratios (PR) (from...
