Abstract:Solar air heaters generally exhibit lower levels of thermal performance due to higher heat losses and poor heat transfer characteristics of air which is the working fluid. Many investigations, both experimental and numerical, have been carried out in the past to overcome these limitations. One of the commonly used techniques for thermal performance enhancement in solar air heaters is to enhance the turbulence levels in the flowing air stream. This paper presents a detailed review of investigations involving nu… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
