Abstract
En 中文
• A novel double‑path PV/T module with spiral cooling tubes is proposed for enhanced thermal management. • 3D CFD modeling and parametric optimization are employed, coupling geometry, flow conditions, and operating parameters. • Increasing S from 3 m to 6 m reduces surface temperature and enhances thermal efficiency up to 55.8%. • The double‑path configuration improves thermal efficiency from 6.62% to 9.14%, a 38% relative increase. • Thermal efficiency rises from 5.5% to 10.64% with Reynolds number, while electrical efficiency increases marginally (10%–10.26%).
