Numerical examination of expanding the effectiveness of thermal photovoltaic framework by changing the level of heat transfer conveyance.

In photovoltaic systems, only a tiny portion of solar radiation reaches the module's surface and is converted to electrical energy. The remaining solar radiation is wasted, which raises cell temperature and reduces electrical efficiency. This research focused on examining the effects of different factors on nanofluids. In the simulations performed in this thesis, the inlet temperature of the water fluid changes from 5 °C to 30 °C. The radiation intensity equals 600 W per square meter, and the input speed is 0.07452 m per second. The innovation of this article is the use of two nanofluids of aluminum oxide and copper together with a mixture of water to investigate the effect of effective parameters on the electrical, thermal, and overall efficiency of photovoltaic systems, such as the amount of incoming radiation to the surface of the panel, the temperature of the fluid inlet in mountainous areas, the temperature of the absorber. , so that the thermal efficiency of copper and aluminum oxide is investigated and compared. As a result, copper nanofluid can increase the ratio more than aluminum oxide and pure water. There is a direct relationship between the output fluid temperature and the input temperature. With an increase in the input fluid temperature, the output temperature also increases proportionally. Increasing the inlet temperature affects the temperature of the absorber surface, which, in turn, reduces the electrical efficiency of the photovoltaic system. These changes are reduced by adding nanofluids to the photovoltaic system.Although the increase of nanoparticles causes a decrease in the temperature of the absorber plate, and this temperature decrease for copper nanofluid is 10 % higher than that of aluminum oxide and pure water until the volume fraction is reached.

Numerical analysis of potential in electrostatic amplitude caused by paint splashing.

In this research, the behavior of an electric field caused by the mechanism of electrostatic painting has been investigated using the finite element method and FLEXPDE software. The aim of this study is to optimize the electrostatic spraying performance of the paint sprayer by investigating the potential field in the paint nozzle. The results show that the potential and the electric field can be solved at any given point and displayed graphically. Additionally, changing the 2D rectangular covering surface to a circular one increased the potential value reached on the covering surface by 10 percent. The amount of electric potential and electrostatic field in the direction perpendicular to the x-axis is shown to be symmetrical and equal for y > 0 and y < 0. The size of the spray opening/hole is a significant factor in reaching paint particles to the coating surface. Doubling the size of the spray opening increased the potential value on the coating surface by 54.3 percent, while halving it decreased the potential value by 75 percent.

Evaluation of AGM and FEM method for thermal radiation on nanofluid flow between two tubes in nearness of magnetism field.

The nanofluid flow through two orbicular cylinders is explored utilizing the overall Koo-Kleinstreuer-Li (KKL) model within the nearness of a magnetic field. The impact of thermal radiation is considered in the energy equation. The novelty of this study is examining convective heat transfer for nanofluid flow between two flat tubes with the Akbari-Ganji method and Finite Element Techniques to examine the heat flux field by implies of 2D forms of temperature and velocity at unprecedented Reynolds numbers. The approaches for solving ODEs are AGM and FEM. Semi-analytical methods are assessed for specific parameters of aspect ratio, Hartmann number, Eckert number, and Reynolds quantity with various values. Adding Ha, Ec, and G causes the temperature gradient to grow, while adding the Reynolds number causes it to decrease. As the Lorentz forces increase, the velocity decreases; nevertheless, as the Reynolds number rises, the velocity decreases. With the reduction of the fluid's dynamic viscosity, the temperature will decrease, which will decrease the thermal trend along the vertical length of the pipes.
