Optimal passage size for solar collector microchannel and tube-on-plate absorbers

© 2017 The Authors Solar thermal collectors for buildings use a heat transfer fluid passing through heat exchange channels in the absorber. Flat plate absorbers may pass the fluid through a tube bonded to a thermally conducting plate or achieve lower thermal resistance and pressure drop by using a f...
