Numerical Analysis of a PVT Collector Using a Smooth Duct on the Air Channel

In this study, numerical investigation were used to assess the performance of a PVT that has artificial roughness in the form of slim air movements across the air channel. Using a variety of roughness parameters, including Reynolds number. The effects of arc-shaped geometry on heat transfer coefficient, friction factor, and performance enhancement were investigated in relation to the sunlight, roughness ratio height, and proportional harshness angle working parameter. The latest CFD analysis unequivocally shows that when geometrical part of the air channel increases, the average friction and average factor rise, but the reverse pattern is shown as relative roughness pitch increases. The thermal enhancement factor has been identified as the prerequisite for optimal performance. The rate of fluid can be discussed in this article about 0.00847 kg/s throughout the experimental study. The available experimental results, which have also been confirmed by earlier literature investigations, are compared to the results to validate them.
