In the proposed models, the inlet temperature, flow rate, heat, solar radiation, and the sun heat have been considered as the input variables. Data set has been extracted through experimental measurements from a novel solar collector system. Different analyses are performed to examine the credibility of the introduced models and evaluate their performances. The proposed LSSVM model outperformed the ANFIS and ANNs models. LSSVM model is reported suitable when the laboratory measurements are costly and time-consuming, or achieving such values requires sophisticated interpretations.}, subject = {Fotovoltaik}, language = {en} } @article{JilteAhmadiKumaretal., author = {Jilte, Ravindra and Ahmadi, Mohammad Hossein and Kumar, Ravinder and Kalamkar, Vilas and Mosavi, Amir}, title = {Cooling Performance of a Novel Circulatory Flow Concentric Multi-Channel Heat Sink with Nanofluids}, series = {Nanomaterials}, volume = {2020}, journal = {Nanomaterials}, number = {Volume 10, Issue 4, 647}, publisher = {MDPI}, address = {Basel}, doi = {10.3390/nano10040647}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20200401-41241}, pages = {12}, abstract = {Heat rejection from electronic devices such as processors necessitates a high heat removal rate. The present study focuses on liquid-cooled novel heat sink geometry made from four channels (width 4 mm and depth 3.5 mm) configured in a concentric shape with alternate flow passages (slot of 3 mm gap). In this study, the cooling performance of the heat sink was tested under simulated controlled conditions.The lower bottom surface of the heat sink was heated at a constant heat flux condition based on dissipated power of 50 W and 70 W. The computations were carried out for different volume fractions of nanoparticles, namely 0.5\% to 5\%, and water as base fluid at a flow rate of 30 to 180 mL/min. The results showed a higher rate of heat rejection from the nanofluid cooled heat sink compared with water. The enhancement in performance was analyzed with the help of a temperature difference of nanofluid outlet temperature and water outlet temperature under similar operating conditions. The enhancement was ~2\% for 0.5\% volume fraction nanofluids and ~17\% for a 5\% volume fraction.}, subject = {Nanostrukturiertes Material}, language = {en} }
