Abstract

Abstract higher 𝑊𝑠. 𝑇𝑎 also tends to yield linear increase in 𝑇𝑏𝑎𝑐𝑘, expecting 5.8 °𝐶 rise, for 6 °𝐶 increase in 𝑇𝑎 at 700 𝑊/𝑚2 and 1 𝑚/𝑠 of solar radiation and wind speed, respectively. Moreover, a simulation algorithm was proposed and programmed to model and calculate 𝑇𝑝𝑣, were the aforementioned effective parameters was considered as inputs. The findings of this investigation revealed that the proposed simulation algorithm provided one of the best results in comparison to literature models, achieving an 𝑅2 of 0.963 and a 𝑀𝐴𝐸 of 1.883, which is very close to the best overall model by King at 𝑅2=0.973 and 𝑀𝐴𝐸=1.663. Additionally, two new models for 𝑇𝑝𝑣 prediction were proposed. After testing on new data, the explicit model provided a reasonable first approximation attaining an adjusted 𝑅2 of 0.97 and a 𝑀𝑆𝐸 of 3.505, and an accurate implicit model, achieving a 𝑀𝑆𝐸 of only 1.268.
