Simulate the Rheological Behaviour of the Solar Collector by Using Computational Fluid Dynamic Approach

Abstract

In the present study, the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method was utilized to explore the rheological behavior of the flat solar collector. ANSYS 16.1 has been used to do an analysis on the drafted three-dimensional model. In order to investigate the heat transmission from the solar panel to the fluid, a CFD tool has been used. The effectiveness of the heat transfer across the entire system has been evaluated with the help of Nano fluid. Both 0.3 and 0.5 meters per second might be considered the speed of the water. These results have been compared to others and validated in accordance with those standards. The most recent findings from this line of investigation have shown that include a greater number of specifics in the working fluid of the system can contribute to an increase in the temperature at which the solar plate discharges its heat. In addition to this, it is possible to get the highest possible temperature by bringing the velocity value down to its lowest possible range.
