This paper describes the development and testing of an educational solar air heater. The flat-plate solar air heater has been used as a teaching rig for undergraduate students in measurements laboratory sessions, during which the collector efficiency is determined. The results of indoor testing...

In this work (Mo-Cu)-black coatings on Ni-plated Cu substrates have been prepared by electrodeposition. Their stability and durability has been investigated. The durability tests were carried out in two forms; accelerated ageing, and weathering. Reflectance measurements were used to evaluate...
