Abstract:
In this paper, three different designs of a hybrid PV/T double-pass finned plate solar air heater (DPFPSAH) are investigated. The PV module is used to produce electricity needed to run the pump and blow the air into the solar collector. In the first design, the PV module is placed on the absorber plate of the air heater. In the second design, the PV module is placed beside the glass cover of the air heater; while, in the third one, the PV module is completely separated from the solar collector. The effects of mass flow rate of air, flow, and fan pumping powers are studied. The top losses of the third design are found to be higher than that of the first and the second designs by average values of 7.5% and 29%, respectively. The third design of the hybrid systems has the highest overall performance. The daily thermal efficiencies of the first, second, and third designs of the hybrid systems are obtained as 53%, 27%, and 64%, respectively, at mass flow rate of 0.02 kg/s.

Mechanisms of Heat Transfer
Conduction, accounting for approximately 3% of body heat loss at rest, is the process of exchanging heat between molecules of two materials in direct contact. This can result in both heat loss and gain. For instance, when the body is submerged in water, which conducts heat 20 times more effectively than air, it can either lose or gain significant...
