Effect of angle of attack and wind direction on limiting input heat flux for solar assisted thermoelectric power generator with plate fin heat sink

Article of Review on Computational Analysis on Performance of Solar Pond using Polycrystalline Material

“…This paper work was conducted to consider the gaps that exists in literature in regards with the CFD modelling in the ponds, such as the geometric conformations of the accumulated sludge at the bottom; also dynamic models that represents environmental conditions (like wind, solar radiations, and air temperatures), and the approximation of physical properties of the fluid to the real conditions, and buoyancy etc., all together in one unified model. Nayak et al (2019) [14] studied the dependency of the limiting values of the heat flux at the input for the thermoelectric VOL.7, ISSUE 3, MARCH 2021 generators (TEG) which are solar assisted, on the Angle of Attack (AOA) and also winds direction of the heat sink of TEG. Recent study sets the limiting input of heat flux for TEGs with the hot side temperature of 150 °C which is to the allowable degree.…”

“…Recent study sets the limiting input of heat flux for TEGs with the hot side temperature of 150 °C which is to the allowable degree. Mahizan et al (2019) [15] filled the solar pond with saline water of increasing densities from top of the pond to the bottom of the pond as the solar radiation was absorbed at the bottom of the pond. This research work mainly focuses on the construction of a kind of a salinity gradient solar pond and propose the means to maintain the conditions of the solar pond.…”
