efficient solar air heater with perforated absorber for crop drying
outdoor experiments on a once-through single glazed solar air heater with perforated metal absorber plate were conducted to determine the practical effect of absorber plate porosity as well as suction air flow rate on the collector thermal efficiency and its total pressure drop. three aluminum absorber plates were made perforated by drilling circular holes with different diameter/pitch ratios i...
متن کاملHeat Transfer and Friction Factor Study for Triangular Duct Solar Air Heater Having Discrete V-Shaped Ribs
Solar energy is a good option among renewable energy resources due to its easy availability and abundance. The simplest and most efficient way to utilize solar energy is to convert it into thermal energy and this can be done with the help of solar collectors. The thermal performance of such collectors is poor due to less heat transfer from the collector surface to air. In this work, experimenta...
متن کاملInvestigating The Parameters For The Performance Enhancement Of A Solar Air Heater Having Different Artificially Roughened Geometries
The use of an artificial roughness on a surface of absorber plate is an effective technique to enhance the rate of heat transfer to fluid flow in the duct of a solar air heater. This paper presents a comparison of parameters that enhance the heat transfer coefficient thus efficiency ofa solar air heater for different artificially roughened geometries for the Reynolds number from 2500 -18000. Th...
متن کاملExperimental Investigation on Turbulent Heat Transfer, Nusselt Number and Friction Factor Characteristics of Square Ducts
This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation of heat transfer to the airflow in the square duct. The main purpose of this study is influence of square ducts on the convective heat transfer mechanism. Under this investigation friction factor and the Nusselt Number were calculated. The reason that square ducts increase the fluid flow turbulence near the wall and also increase ...
متن کاملA CFD based thermo-hydraulic performance analysis of an artificially roughened solar air heater having equilateral triangular sectioned rib roughness on the absorber plate
In this article, a numerical investigation is conducted to analyze the two-dimensional incompressible Navier–Stokes flows through the artificially roughened solar air heater for relevant Reynolds number ranges from 3800 to 18,000. Twelve different configurations of equilateral triangular sectioned rib (P/e = 7.14–35.71 and e/d = 0.021–0.042) have been used as roughness element. The governing eq...
