Abstract
In the following, a work was conducted to evaluate the performance of PV/T system when using Nano fluid as working fluid. The used Nano fluid consists of Al2O3 50â¯nm suspended in water as base fluid. Firstly, Tests were performed with different flow rates of water as a cooling agent, and then volume concentrations ratios (0.05, 0.075, 0.1, 0.2, .03) were used as a working fluid at the highest flow rate. The results showed that using Nano fluid increases the combined performance of PV/T by 74 and 56% at volume concentration 0.1% V Concentration. The optimum flow rates achieved in the experiment was 1.2â¯l/mini. Finally using Nano fluid increases the efficiency of PV/T system significantly.
