RISHeat Transfer and Entropy Generation Analysis of a Curved Solar Air Heater With a Sinusoidal Absorber Plate
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Recently, many studies have reported that a curved solar air heater (CSAH) performs better than a conventional flat SAH without using any extra material. It only requires geometrical modification. The present investigation ...
Experimental Study of Heat Transfer and Frictional Characteristics of Impinging Jet Solar Air Heater With Stepped Ribs Having Varying Length of Jet Plate
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An experimental study on the effect of shortening of jet plate perforation length on the thermal and frictional performance of an impinging jet solar air heater with ribs (RIJSAH) was conducted. The jet span length was ...
Numerical Investigation of Heat Transfer Augmentation of a Curved Solar Air Heater With Inverted T-Shaped Ribs
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Laminar sub-layer formation in a smooth solar air heater (SAH) is one of the reasons for the low heat transfer coefficient. One of the most effective ways to overcome the problem and improve the heat transfer rate inside ...
