Evaluation of the performance of the solar air heater

In this paper, we analyse the performance of a suspended plate solar air heater working at low and moderate temperatures with a fluid flow on both sides of the absorber plate. A theoretical model for the system and subsequent numerical analysis of the system is presented in steady state. Some experi...

Description
Summary:In this paper, we analyse the performance of a suspended plate solar air heater working at low and moderate temperatures with a fluid flow on both sides of the absorber plate. A theoretical model for the system and subsequent numerical analysis of the system is presented in steady state. Some experimental measurements of the fabricated collector under realistic parameters is made, and an optimal design is given.
