  Augmentation of Heat Transfer in a Trough Shaped Solar Collector Compared to Flat Plate Collector Using CFD

  By Pavan Kumar Konchada, Vinay Venkata Pragada, Himagireesh Chigurupalli

  Abstract: Surface Enhancement plays a vital role in augmenting the thermal performance of flat plate collectors. In this paper, an attempt is made to explain in a comparative way the effect of surface geometry of solar flat plate collector having troughs with that of a normal collector. Flat plate collectors with and without troughs of dimensions 1 × 0.5 m is modelled in CATIA V5R19 and meshed using ANSYS ICEM CFD. …
