Alternative determination of critical mass flow rate for the photovoltaic solar thermal collector in forced fluid mode
From existing equations, which have been validated by experimental measurements in the literature, the photovoltaic (PV) cell efficiency for the photovoltaic solar thermal collector (PVT), cooled by forced fluid flow, is shown to be a function of the mass flow rate. This study shows, with calculus,...
