An experimental investigation has been carried out to study the heat transfer and friction characteristics by using a combination of inclined as well as transverse ribs on the absorber plate of a solar air heater. The experimental investigation encompassed the Reynolds number (Re) ranges from...

An experimental study has been carried out to investigate the effective efficiency of a solar air heater duct provided with transverse and inclined ribs as artificial roughness elements on the absorber plate. The range of parameters considered for the present investigation; Reynolds number (Re)...
