Abstract: (84 Views) |
In this study, the cooling of a photovoltaic system with a concentrator is done with the help of a heat sink containing phase change materials and copper oxide nanoparticles using a numerical method. The photovoltaic module has a two-dimensional concentrator, and n-octadecane is chosen as the phase change material, and the mass fraction of copper oxide nanoparticles is 3 and 5%. The results of this research show that adding copper oxide nanoparticles with a mass fraction of 3% and 5% to the basic phase change material reduces the temperature of the solar cell from 191 o C to 185 o C and 180 o C, respectively.
