Abstract: A flat plate solar collector is modelled as a rectangular channel of high width to gap ratio with air entering the collector with a fully developed turbulent velocity profile. One plate of ...

Abstract: The efficiency of an air-heating flat-plate solar collector can be increased by reducing the absorber plate temperature by providing it with extended surfaces. An experimental study was conducted ...

Abstract: An experimental study to determine the flow characteristics of an incompressible fluid in turbulent, radially outward flow between two coaxial, stationary disks was conducted employing a split ...
