Validation Study Of Photovoltaic Thermal Nanofluid Based Coolant Using Computational Fluid Dynamics Approach

In the study, the photovoltaic thermal system using nanofluid as coolant is validated using numerical approach by comparing the experimental results and simulation results. Due to high cost and difficulty in preparing nanofluid, it is more practical to perform the study using numerical approach whic...
