TLDR
In this paper, the limitations of the various models as well as the experimental data that have to be used to overcome these discrepancies are discussed, and the existing mathematical models used for the prediction of heat transfer in a Trombe wall give serious discrepancies.About:

Experimental investigation and modeling of a direct-coupled PV/T air collector
Amin Shahsavar,Mehran Ameri +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a direct-coupled PV/thermal air collector was designed, built, and tested at a geographic location of Kerman, Iran, where a thin aluminum sheet suspended at the middle of air channel was used to increase the heat exchange surface and consequently improve heat extraction from PV panels.

The thermal performances of a solar wall
TL;DR: In this article, the computational fluid dynamics technique (CFD) was used for air flow simulation in the solar chimney, where the flow is assumed laminar, unsteady and incompressible.
