研究目的
Evaluating the performance of the double-pass hybrid Photovoltaic-Thermal (PVT) solar system proposed for drying purposes theoretically and experimentally.
研究成果
A mathematical model of the electrical and thermal performance was presented in this study; also, the predicting of results were simulated by utilizing MATLAB program. The comparison between the theoretical and experimental results has been proven. The double pass technology and adding fins were applied in the PVT system for two reasons, firstly, to raise the heat extraction from the absorber plate and secondly, to increase the surface area to transfer further heat from plate to fluid. The maximum temperature difference between input and output airflow was 19°C at a low mass flow rate 0.017 kg/s which considers acceptable temperature to supply the solar dryer. In addition, the results indicated that the maximum electrical and thermal efficiencies of the PVT system were 12.65% and about 56.73%, respectively, at a higher mass flow rate about 0.031 kg/s.
