Solar Air Heater : CFD Analysis of Aero-foil Shaped Roughness. CFD Analysis of Solar Air Heater

      Аннотация: The aim of this book is to understand the effect of artificial roughness on Solar Air Heater performance. Transient thermal performance under different flow conditions with different geometrical parameters has been evaluated using a validated simulation model and performance deterioration has been explained in terms of Friction factor. Design guidelines would help a beginner to understand the basic philosophy of optimizing the parameters affecting the thermo-hydraulic performance of Solar Air Heater.
