Three-dimensional Numerical Simulation of Heat Dissipation from Photovoltaic Cells on the Bottom Wall of a Horizontal Cabinet to Ambient Natural Convective Air Stream

摘要：

This study proposes a three-dimensional model to investigate the detailed characteristics of conjugate conduction-natural convection heat transfer of photovoltaic cells mounted discretely on the bottom wall of a horizontal cabinet. The thermal interaction between air streams inside and outside the cabinet through the conducting wall are included. The numerical computation domain covers the cabinet and surrounding area, so that the temperature and velocity fields of the combined regions are solved simultaneously. Furthermore, the enhancement of cooling performance of photovoltaic cells by using the fins is conducted.
