Abstract
In this study, a performance evaluation of a photovoltaic thermal (PVT) system using nanofluids was carried out through an efficiency comparison study using water, CuO-water, and Al2O3-water nanofluids as the heat medium of the PVT system. In addition, a model for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis was established, and the validity of the model was verified by comparing it with the experimental results of the PVT system. Through this, it was confirmed that the outlet temperature of the PVT system using nanofluids can be predicted by applying various conditions. Based on the results, the use of nanofluid as heating medium for the PVT system is proposed to improve the efficiency sufficiently compared to the conventional heating media.
