  • This paper deals with the numerical analysis of a H ybrid-Type (PV/T) Solar Air Heater and a study on t he effect of various design parameters that enhance th e performance of the system. The heat transfer improvement in general may be achieved by increasin g the heat transfer coefficient or by increasing th e surface area or by increasing both. The main object ive of the present work is to determine the optimum air mass flow rate at which PV/T systems are to be oper ated and to develop an optimal design of a hybrid t ype (PV/T) solar air heater that shows better performan ce at various heat fluxes due to solar radiation. T his study determines the set of design parameters which lead to the best annual yield of the system. In th is study of a hybrid type (PV/T) solar air heater ICEM CFD (ANSYS) is used to obtain the optimum results,there by increasing the efficiency of the system. https://www.ijiert.org/paper-details?paper_id=140284
