Thermal Performance of a Double-pass Solar Air Heater

This study analyzes the thermal performance of solar thermal energy using double-pass absorber plate in Sanandaj, Iran. To this end, a mathematical model was encoded according to the energy and exergy balance equations and solved by MATLAB software. Given the environmental conditions and radiation intensity of a winter day in Sanandaj, the effects of external parameters such as radiation intens...

investigation of absorber plate porosity effects on a solar air heater performance with slatted glass

in this research a flat plate solar air collector was investigated under direct solar radiation consisted of a slatted glass cover, perforated absorber aluminum sheets (porosity 0.0177, 0.0314 and absorber thickness of 2.5 mm). the effect of porosity on absorber efficiency of collector was evaluated. six levels of air mass flow rates (0.0056 to 0.0385 kg m-2 s-1) were adopted.average solar ener...

Thermal Hydraulic Performance in a Solar Air Heater Channel with Multi V-Type Perforated Baffles

This article presents heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics in a solar air heater (SAH) channel with multi V-type perforated baffles. The flow passage has an aspect ratio of 10. The relative baffle height, relative pitch, relative baffle hole position, flow attack angle, and baffle open area ratio are 0.6, 8.0, 0.42, 60 ̋, and 12%, respectively. The Reynolds numbers considered in the stud...

Thermal behaviour of solar air heater with compound parabolic concentrator

A mathematical model for computing the thermal performance of an air heater with a truncated compound parabolic concentrator having a flat one-sided absorber is presented. A computer code that employs an iterative solution procedure is constructed to solve the governing energy equations and to estimate the performance parameters of the collector. The effects of the air mass flow rate, the wind ...
