In this paper the findings are reported from an experimental study of the heat transfer and flow created between two vertical parallel walls heated from one side. In the laboratory a mock up of a facade provided with photovoltaic elements (PV) was built. Surface and air temperatures were...

The impetus of this paper is to analyse numerically the fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics of buoyancy-driven convection between two vertical parallel walls, heated from one side. Both convection and radiation heat exchanges are considered as the heat transfer mechanisms by which the...

The impetus of this paper is to analyse numerically and experimentally the flow and heat transfer characteristics of buoyancy-driven air convection behind photovoltaic panels. Both convection and radiation heat exchanges are considered as the heat transfer mechanisms by which the thermal energy...
