In the present study, the natural convection flow of water with Nano-encapsulated phase change material (NPCM) was simulated inside an insulated chamber, which a pair of pipes were considered as a heater and cooler sources with the boundary condition of uniform temperature. The NPCM's core was made of n-nonadecane with melting temperature of 30.44°C. This core has ability to change the liquid-solid phase to transfer heat between the heater and the cooler sources. Current simulation was steady state and was solved by SIMPLE algorithm based on FVM to investigate the effects of Rayleigh number, volume fraction and location of phase change zone on the convective heat transfer coefficient. Observations showed that, phase change of NPCM occurs at low Rayleigh numbers but had no effect on the convective heat transfer coefficient, but it was directly related to the thermal conductivity of mixture. Moreover, adding volume fraction of NPCM 0.02 into water increased the convective heat transfer coefficient by 10.43%, 19.1% and 18.3% compared to pure water for Rayleigh numbers 102,104,and106, respectively.

Through the present investigation, the thermal and power output of novel-shaped solar panels are evaluated. For the cooling of the mentioned forms, forced air flow was utilized. Three novel shapes, of Pyramid, Hexagonal, and Conical which had the equal lateral surface were considered. For the simulation, an open source CFD software was utilized. The lateral surfaces were put under identical amount of heat flux. Air as the coolant fluid was injected with constant inlet temperature from the trapdoors at the bottom of different shaped structures. Three different values of heat flux and air injection rate were evaluated for each shape. The outcomes presented that the conical shaped solar panel exhibits better thermal performance than other geometries. Furthermore, conical form finds the least temperature that was about 10.5 °C less than that of the pyramid-shaped panel. Furthermore, it was revealed that the corners of pyramid and hexagonal-shaped solar panels have higher temperature. Also, it was found that the efficiency of conical shaped panel was up to 8.4% more than that of pyramid-shaped panel.
