Abstract: The coupled pore-scale and Darcy-scale numerical simulations are used in this work to investigate heat transport and hydrodynamic characteristics within a porous channel constructed by using a primitive lattice based on ...

Abstract: In this paper, a ferrofluid-based cooling technique is proposed for solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, where ferrofluid flow can be easily altered by the application of an external magnetic field leading to enhanced heat ...
