Fabrication and Analysis of Evacuated Tube Solar Air Heater
Abstract: The development of renewable energy technology is important for the future to balance global energy. Now we are at the stage where the search for other alternative methods that replace the electricity has become pinnacle. This work is essentially based on the alternative methods by which we can reduce the consumption of electricity. Solar air heating is one of them is not only pollution free, but also cheap in operation. …

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