The current research was carried out with the aim of numerically investigating the effect of employing a perforated twisted tube turbulator on the energy and exergy yields of a concentrating photovoltaic thermal (PVT) device. The simulations were performed in 4 different Reynolds numbers (Re) (i.e....
