Performance Analysis and Identification of an Indirect Photovoltaic Thermal Dryer with Aluminum Oxide Nano-Embedded Thermal Energy Storage Modification

In the current paper, different thermal energy storage unit-integrated photovoltaic (PVT) air collectors with and without nanoparticles have been designed, fabricated tested. Aluminum oxide integrated into unit to increase performance of PVT collector. The developed tested in a drying application at two mass flow rates. major goals this work are upgrading collector by employing nano-embedded analyzing impacts using latent heat on system. time was reduced approximately 15–22% unit. Moreover, overall exergy efficiency values were obtained ranges 12.49–14.67% 13.64–16.06%, respectively, for modified unmodified collectors. It should be indicated that efficiencies improved 6.91–6.97% 9.20–9.47%, combination increasing rate integrating exergetic 28.58%. mean room between 48.33 54.26%. addition experimental analysis, dynamic models constructed system identification method.
