A Review on Increases the Heat Transfer Rate of the Solar Air Heater by Adding the Fins in the Absorber Plate
Abstract: Solar air heaters are extensively utilised in a diverse range of domestic and industrial settings. The need to enhance the thermal efficiency of solar air heaters has prompted researchers to concentrate on enhancing the thermal performance through the implementation of artificial flow modification techniques in the flow field. Consequently, the presence of this phenomenon will disrupt the laminar sublayer located beneath the absorber plate, so contributing to an elevation in …
