Determination of cell reaching solar flux/temperature with AcuSolve
Dear Experts,
My objective is to make a thermal analysis of a photovoltaic panel like in the paper I have attached. This panel shall be exposed to a irradiance of 1000 W/m^2 (in negative z-Direction) for 60 seconds at an ambient temperature of 25°C. The target values are the cell reaching solar flux (solar irradiance) and the temperature at the solar cell.
I work with Hypermesh 2019 and the AcuSolve user profile. My procedure was similar to the tutorial ACU-T 3201 (Greenhouse Daytime Simulation): I have already defined the problem description and auto solution strategy, model propoerties and solar radiation models, applied volume parameters and meshed the panel with 1 mm tetra-volume elements.
When I run the Acu Solve Job Lauchner and open the results in Hyperview afterwards, no results are displayed.
Now to my questions:
Is it possible to run a simulation with Acusolve without fluid (only solids) in the system?
How do I define contact conditions like free convection with the environment or conduction?
Do I need an emissivity model like in ACU-T 3200?
Do I need to determine surface groups?
I have also attached the Hypermesh file so to give you an idea of my simulation model.
Thanks in advance! I would be extremely grateful about a help.
