The effect of the properties of porous fillers on the performance of a PCM-based photovoltaic thermal system: A CFD study

In thermal systems, combination of PCMs with porous fillers with high thermal conductivity is a proper method to improve their performance. In photovoltaic thermal (PVT) systems, as porous fillers are introduced to the collector tube and PCM bulk, the thermal efficiency increases. Moreover, since th...
