Consider the photovoltaic solar panel of Example 3.3. The heat transfer coefficient should no longer be taken
to be a specified value.
(a) Determine the silicon temperature and the electric power produced by the solar cell for an air velocity of 4 m/s parallel to the long direction, with air and surroundings temperatures of 20C. The boundary layer is tripped to a turbulent condition at the leading edge of the panel.
(b) Repeat part (a), except now the panel is oriented with its short side parallel to the airflow, that is, L = 0.1 m and w = 1m.
(c) Plot the electric power output and the silicon temperature versus air velocity over the range 0 um 10 m/s for the L = 0.1 m and w = 1 m case.
