Publication Metadata only Numerical examination of exergy performance of a hybrid solar system equipped with a sheet-and-sinusoidal tube collector: Developing a predictive function using artificial neural network(ELSEVIER, 2024) Sun, Chuan; Fares, Mohammad N.; Sajadi, S. Mohammad; Li, Z.; Jasim, Dheyaa J.; Hammoodi, Karrar A.; Nasajpour-Esfahani, Navid; Salahshour, Soheil; Alizadeh, As'ad; Huanggang Normal University; University of Basrah; Cihan University-Erbil; Donghai Laboratory; Opole University of Technology; Al-Amarah University College; University of Warith Alanbiyaa; University System of Georgia; Georgia Institute of Technology; Okan University; Bahcesehir University; Lebanese American University; Urmia UniversityIntegrating cooling systems with photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) collectors has the potential to mitigate the exergy consumption in the building sector due to their capability for simultaneous power and thermal energy generation. The simultaneous utilization of nanofluid and geometry modification resulted in a synergetic enhancement in the performance of PVTs and thereby reducing their sizes and costs. In addition, there is still a lack of high accurate predictive model for the estimation of the performance of PVTs at a given Re number and nanofluid concentration ratio to be used in engineering design for the further product commercialization. To this end, the current numerical study investigates the exergy electricity, thermal, and overall exergies of a building-integrated photovoltaic thermal (BIPVT) solar collector with Al2O3/water coolant. The increase in nanoparticle concentration (omega) from 0 % to 1 % increased the useful thermal exergy and overall exergy efficiency (Exu,t/ Yov) by 0.3999 %/0.0497 %, 1.3959 %/0.2598 %, and 0.7489 %/0.1771 % at Re numbers of 500, 1000, and 1500, respectively, while Exu,t/ Yov exhibited a reducing trend at Re = 2000, 0.3928 %/0.1056 % decrease. In addition, the increase in omega from 0 % to 1 % caused the useful electricity and electrical exergy (Exu,e/ Ye) to be diminished by 0.0060 %/0.0025 % at Res 500 and 1000, and to be escalated by 0.0113 %/0.0055 % at Res of 1500 and 2000. Meanwhile, the Re augmentation, from 500 to 2000, improved the Exu,t, Exe, Ye, and Yov by 60 %, 1.26 %, 1.26 %, and 17.50 %, respectively, at different omega s. In addition, two functions were developed and proposed by applying a group method of data handling-type neural network (GMDH-ANN) to forecast the value of Υov based on two input values (Re and omega). The results showed high accuracy of the proposed model with MSE, EMSE, and R2 of 0.0138, 0.1143, and 0.99785, respectively.Publication Metadata only Investigating the effect of external heat flux on the thermal behaviour of hybrid paraffin-air heat sink: A molecular dynamics approach(ELSEVIER, 2023) Wang, Ke; Jasim, Dheyaa J.; Alizadeh, As'ad; Al-Rubaye, Ameer H.; Nasajpour-Esfahani, Navid; Salahshour, Soheil; Esmaeili, Shadi; Hekmatifar, M.; Yangzhou University; Al-Amarah University College; Cihan University-Erbil; Al-Kitab University; University System of Georgia; Georgia Institute of Technology; Okan University; Bahcesehir University; Lebanese American University; Semnan University; Islamic Azad University; Yangzhou UniversityOne of today's concerns regarding energy storage units is the low rate of storage and release of thermal energy and, as a result, the efficiency loss in these units. Subsequently, different strategies are utilized to solve this concern, such as using phase change materials (PCMs) and nanostructures. The background is the low storage and release rate of thermal energy in energy storage units, which leads to efficiency loss. This issue concerns many applications, including energy storage in buildings, vehicles, and electronic devices. This study aims to investigate the effect of external heat flux (EHF) on the thermal efficiency of a specific heat sink by employing molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. After ensuring the simulated atomic structures are stable, EHF is applied to see how it affects the thermal behaviour of the combination. The obtained results show that by increasing the EHF applied to the prototype, the thermal behaviour of the structure improves. So, with the increase of EHF from 0.1 W/m2 to 0.5 W/m2, the heat flux and thermal conductivity (TC) increase from 212.27 W/m2 to 317.90 W/mK to 286.71 W/m2 and 340.03 W/mK. The findings significantly affect energy storage unit efficiency and can inform future research and development efforts.
