The purpose of present study is establishing a simulation model to consider the performance of a water photovoltaic thermal system (PV/T) via the computational fluid dynamics method (CFD). The proposed model includes a water riser tube and an absorber plate to consider the conduction and convection heat transfer mechanisms. The simulation procee was carried out in the ANSYS FLUENT software. The effects of two different parameters on the efficiency and performance of the system were investigated numercically. The performance of the PV/T system versus the changes on the absorbed radiation on the plate and the inlet fluid temperature were analyzed. The temperature distribiution of different sections of the system was obtained. For validation of the presented method, a comparison study was carried out with the experimental results in the literature; satisfactory convergences were found between the measured data and the experimental results.
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are an important health problem among healthcare workers, including clinical laboratory ones. The aim of the present study was to investigate the prevalence of MSDs and individual and psychosocial risk factors among clinical laboratory workers. A cross-sectional study was carried out among 156 workers of 30 clinical laboratories in 3 towns of Iran. The Nordic questionnaire with individual and psychosocial risk factors was used to collect data. Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed. The prevalence of reported MSDs among the study population was 72.4% in the past 12 months. The most prevalent MSDs were pain in the lower back and neck; 42.7% and 33.3%, respectively. Significant relations were found between MSDs and age, gender, heavy work at home and job control (p < .05). MSDs among laboratory workers were high and associated with age, gender, heavy work at home and job control. More research into measuring these factors and workplace physical demands is suggested.
