The encapsulation technique is one way to use latent heat storage material in a solar water heater tank. In this technique, several capsules may be arranged the study, were installed along cross-section of There has been no discussion which part capsule position optimal energy with arrangement. Proper placement arrangement can result thermal This study aimed investigate effectiveness installing...

A new design of Solar Air Heater (SAH) with triangle cross-section is numerically studied. The thermal performance SAH studied at various mass flow rates, inlet air temperatures and solar irradiation intensities. CFD model developed using the software ?ANSYS Fluent? to study fluid heat transfer in heater. 3D discretization applied collector cross section. Mesh independence performed order choos...
