Overheating in BIPV/T applications is a concern due to its negative impacts on the electrical conversion efficiency of solar cells. Forced air cooling can be an effective thermal management strategy. However, effectiveness limited by resistance associated with boundary layer formation walls channel. The heat transfer improved appending transverse ribs This study numerically investigates energy ...

VATER association is an exceptionally rare condition; however it is associated with multiple rib anomalies, which is one of its unique presentation. We are reporting a case of VATER associated with rib anomalies in various forms like bifid rib, ribbon rib and rudimentary rib.
