Analytical predictions of exergoeconomic performance of a solar air heater with surface roughness of metal waste

Nguyen Minh Phu et al.

Summary: The study evaluates the performance of an air collector with artificial roughness of metal waste by analyzing parameters such as thermal efficiency and exergetic efficiency under various operating conditions. The results suggest that using lower roughness under high Reynolds numbers can improve performance due to large pressure loss penalty and irreversibility. The optimal absorber plate area of 1.3 m2 is found to achieve maximum exergetic performance and minimum total annual cost.

Thermo-hydraulic performance analysis of a solar air heater (SAH) with quarter-circular ribs on the absorber plate: A comparative study

Yadaba Mahanand et al.

Summary: This study numerically investigates the thermo-hydraulic characteristics of a solar air heater with quarter-circular ribs on the absorber plate. Three different rib arrangements are compared, with varying flow and roughness parameters. The impact of relative roughness pitch and Reynolds number on the optimized rib geometry and thermal enhancement ratio is analyzed, resulting in proposed correlations for Nusselt number and friction factor through non-linear regression analysis.

Energy, exergy, economic and environmental assessment of double pass V-corrugated-perforated finned solar air heater at different air mass ratios

Hamdy Hassan et al.

Summary: This study experimentally evaluates the performance of a flat plate double pass solar air heater with V-corrugated absorber and corrugated-perforated absorber using energy, exergy, economic, and environmental approaches. The results show that the corrugated-perforated absorber achieves the highest daily energy efficiency and exergy efficiency values under different conditions, making it the most suitable choice among the studied cases. The proposed corrugated-perforated absorber demonstrates lower energy costs compared to other absorbers, indicating its potential for practical applications in solar air heating systems.

Energy, exergy, and environmental (3E) analyses of reverse and cross-corrugated trapezoidal solar air collectors: An experimental study

Jagannath Reddy et al.

Summary: Experimental investigation on two solar air collectors (SACs) with modified absorber plates shows that the cross-corrugated trapezoidal SAC produces up to 7.72% more energy than the reverse trapezoidal SAC. Energy efficiency increases with tilt angle and a threefold increase in air mass flow rate leads to 100-105% increase in energy and exergy efficiencies. Overall, the environmental impact factor of the type-II SAC is significantly lower than that of the type-I SAC.
