| Abstract: |
Highlights: [•] A volume force was added to the buoyancy term in the Navier–Stokes’ momentum conservation equation. [•] Using PCM kept panel temperature under 40°C for 80min under radiation of 1000W/m2. [•] Adding cooling fins does not always help maintaining the panels’ temperature low. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
