Enhancing photovoltaic-thermal module performance with Tesla valves
"enhances heat transfer (storage)... glass cover, PV panel, heat-absorbing plate, flow channel, fluid, ethyl vinyl acetate encapsulant, Tesla valve (passive 1D valvular conduit moving fluid in single direction without moving parts)... turbulent fluid flow, increasing heat transfer coefficient reducing temperature difference between fluid and solid surface... fluid velocity >1 m/s lowers PV temperature... efficiencies: electrical 16.32%, thermal 59.65%... optimal valve: angle 30°, pipe diameter ratio 1... future: test nanofluids"
