The entropy generation analysis and optimization of a water/silver nanofluid flow inside a photovoltaic thermal collector considering plain, ribbed, and porous-ribbed absorber tubes

Background: The application of three (a) plain, (b) ribbed and (c) porous-ribbed absorber tube in a PVT solar collector was numerically investigated from the second law of thermodynamic points of view. Methods: The 3-D laminar forced convection numerical analysis and optimization were performed for...
