The objective of this work is to assess the combined effects of fixed pressure drop and specific air mass flow rate on duct dimensions (length and depth) of single-pass-with-bare-plate, single-cover and double-cover solar air heaters, and to obtain the resultant system efficiency that...

A detailed theoretical parametec analysis has been made on corrugated and flat plate solar air heaters of five differentconfigurations. The analysis involves investigating the effects of the air flow velocities (or the air channel depths) on the air temperatureincrement, the system efficiency...

A transient analysis has been carried out on a hybrid solar water heater which comprises a rock bed air heater with optimum design parameters in conjunction with an air-to-water transverse fin shell-and-tube heat exchanger (mixed air and unmixed water type) in which cold water from the storage...
