(1) To develop a two-dimensional CFD model to study the fluid dynamics in the air flow cavity of double facades with integrated photovoltaic panels, including the convective heat transfer and long-wave radiative heat transfer inside the cavity.

(2) To provide the average convective heat transfer coefficients for both the PV panel and insulation and use this convective heat transfer coefficients in Charron & Athienitis’(Charron and Athienitis 2003a, b) one-dimensional model to predict the temperature of PV panel and insulation. Basic energy balance can be achieved using this simple one-dimensional model and average heat transfer coefficients.绿色建筑博客D/b JkE7{4J

(3) To develop relationships for the local convective heat transfer coefficient according to height for both the PV panel and insulation. Since the flow is not fully developed in the cavity, the convective heat transfer coefficient is changing along the flow path. This function is provided and is used in Charron & Athienitis’ (2003a, b) two-dimensional model to predict the accurate local PV cell temperature at a certain height.
