The shape of a solar collector is an important factor in solar-to-thermal energy conversion.
Conical shape is one of the stationary and symmetric shapes that can be employed as a …

Heat exchangers are widely used in power engineering and industrial applications. Many
techniques such as coiled tube, surface tension devices, rough surfaces and extended …

Solar water heaters are good tools for saving fuel. The main component of these water
heaters is collectors, which are responsible for absorbing solar energy and transferring it to …

This paper is focusing on hourly air temperature estimation model (MAT) using available
meteorological measured data located in Laghouat (Algeria). The hourly air temperature …

Collectors, as the heart of solar systems, are in reality special types of heat exchangers that
convert the solar radiation to applicable thermal energy. Parabolic trough collectors (PTC) …

The effect of the volume flow rate of the heat transfer fluid (air) on the thermal parameters of
the solar air collector with a single air pass without using fins under the absorbing plate have …

In this work, a multi-objective optimization on novel insulated roof with solar water heating
system at low material cost has been carried out through Taguchi based grey relational …

The purpose of this research is to examine the degree of adoption and education of the
concepts of natural systems for heating, cooling, and lighting (ie, passive systems) versus …
