An experimental investigation of turbulent forced convection heat transfer by a multi-walled carbon-nanotube nanofluid
Piratheepan, M; Anderson, TN (Elsevier, 2014)Abstract In this work, a nanofluid based on multi-walled carbon nanotubes was formulated, and its heat transfer characteristics experimentally examined for turbulent flow in a straight tube. The experiments found that using ... -
Experimental evaluation of low concentration collectors for façade applications
Piratheepan, M; Anderson, T (Solar 2014 Conference & Expo, 2014)In this study two possible configurations for a static low concentration ratio façade integrated concentrator were examined using optical ray tracing; the first incorporating a parabolic reflector and the second using a ... -
Experimental evaluation of natural heat transfer in Façade Integrated Triangular Enclosures
Piratheepan, M; Anderson, T (Australian PV Institute (APVI), 2014)The use of building integrated solar concentrators is an area of developing interest within the field of energy-efficient building technology. One way of achieving such a device could be through the use of a flat static ... -
Natural convection heat transfer in façade integrated solar concentrators
Piratheepan, M; Anderson, T (Elsevier, 2015)The use of facade (wall) integrated concentrating solar collectors is an area of developing interest within the field of energy-efficient building technology. One way of achieving such a device could be through the use of ... -
Optical characteristics of low concentration ratio solar collectors for façade applications
Piratheepan, M; Anderson, T (Massey Printery, 2013)This work shows that there is significant scope for the development of static solar concentrators to be integrated into the façade of buildings. It has shown that solar concentrators using parabolic reflectors may be well ... -
Performance of a Building Integrated Photovoltaic/Thermal Concentrator for Facade Applications
Piratheepan, M; Anderson, TN (Elsevier, 2017)The use of building integrated photovoltaic/thermal (BIPVT) concentrators is an effective way to harness solar energy within the built environment, particularly for façade applications. However, in order to precisely predict ...
