This experimental study explains the phenomena of secondary flow development due to
change in rib perforation and the effect on improvement in THPP values due to variation in β …

After analyzing the effect of perforation in a single pass solar air heater in part A, an
experimental comparative study was performed on a Double Pass Parallel Flow Solar Air …

The performance and cost benefit analysis of double-pass solar collector with and without
fins have been conducted. The theoretical model using steady state analysis has been …

Steady state energy balance equations for the finned double-pass solar collector have been
developed. These equations were solved using the matrix inversion method. The predicted …

This paper presents a performance analysis of four types of air heating flat plate solar
collectors: a finned collector with an angle of 75°, a finned collector with an angle of 70°, a …

This paper presents a comprehensive literature review of the various heat transfer
techniques used to increase the performance of double-pass solar air heaters (SAHs). The …
