Numerical investigation of heat transfer from multi-bulges pins

This paper presents an attempt to improve the thermal performance of the absorber plate in photovoltaic solar systems by introducing novel configurations of pin fins. The cross-sectional area of these pins varies along the pin length producing small bulges with regular geometric shapes. The objectiv...
