Abstract: The present article presents a 3D simulation of a solar thermal panel containing phase change materials (PCMs). Two pipes are devised in the panel, and several pin fins (PFs) are applied to each pipe. Organic PCMs are encapsulated in a compartment around the PFs and pipes. The variable is PF shape, which includes four types, i.e., square, rectangular, triangular, and circular. Nanofluid (NFD) is used within the pipes. The study is carried out transiently and continued until the stabilization of outlets. Utiliz… Show more
