Popis:	A novel built-in photovoltaic Trombe wall (BiPV-TW) was proposed in this paper and the air flow in a BiPV-Trombe wall was numerically simulated by CFD method. The effect of channel height on flow patterns and air velocity was analyzed. The mass flow rate of air was calculated and a dimensionless expression to calculate the air flow rate in term of a Reynolds number was correlated according to a modified Rayleigh number and the aspect ratio, H/b, which took into account both of the channel sizes and solar radiation based on a multivariable regression analysis.
