Flow characteristics in a large area ratio curved diffuser (AR = 3.4, Δβ = 90°, AS = 0.685) have been experimentally evaluated with splitter vanes installed at different angles to the flow at the inlet of the diffuser. The splitter vanes deflect the flow towards the convex wall and simultaneously increase the turbulence intensity. A marked improvement in flow distribution inside the diffuser and a significant increase in the static pressure recovery coefficient are obtained with splitter vanes at a 10° angle.

The outdoor performance of large area Organic Photovoltaics (OPVs) is investigated in this work. Initially, the diurnal performance of the three modules is determined and found to be similar. Subsequently module degradation is monitored, and it is found that the larger area module displays a significantly greater stability as compared to the smallest area module; in fact the larger module displays a T50% (time to fall to 50% of its original value) of 191 days whilst the smallest module displays a T50% of 57 days. This is attributed to an increased level of water infiltration due to a larger perimeter-to-area ratio. These findings are then used to verify a computer simulation model which allows the model parameters, series and shunt resistances, to be calculated. It is determined that the series resistance is not an obvious obstruction at these module sizes. The findings of this work provide great promise for the application of OPV technology on a larger scale.
