Numerical and experimental study of perforated-ring inserts for water-cooled tube heat transfer

Thermal losses in absorber tubes constrain the efficiency of water-cooled photovoltaic-thermal systems. This work presents an absorber tube fitted with perforated-ring inserts, coupling high-resolution Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) optimization with experimental thermohydrau...
