Effect of Using Hybrid Nanofluid in Thermal Management of Photovoltaic Panel in Hot Climates

Photovoltaic (PV) cells have been applied for direct conversion of solar radiation into electricity. Their performance is significantly affected by the working temperature. Due to higher efficiency in lower temperatures, several thermal management approaches recent years. Employing liquids as coolant one efficient cooling down PV cells. Using fluids with enhanced heat transfer properties would lead further improvement output In this paper, utilization a hybrid nanofluid, improved thermophysical characteristics, numerically investigated applying Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Results revealed that employing low concentration nanofluid instead water, and consequently electrical are achievable. The maximum enhancement cell compared reference case without around 35.66% which obtained using mass flow rate 0.0002 kg/s irradiation 1000 W/m2.
