Heat transfer study of building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) with nano-enhanced phase change materials
Abstract
A numerical simulation of NPCM coupled with BIPV has been conducted. The BIPV/NPCM system restrict the panel's temperature rise below 40 °C for about 60 minutes. Cu is more effective in cooling as compared to CuO, Al2O3, and TiO2 nanoparticles.
