Abstract:fThe traditional solar air heater (SAH) has poor thermal performance due to low heat transfer coefficient. Artificial roughness, flow passage alteration, absorber modification, etc. can enhance it. Thus, an experimental investigation is performed to study the thermohydraulic characteristics of a reverse flow SAH with perforated absorber and delta wing (DW) structure. The present study investigates the effect of attack angle (15°–75°) at constant streamwise pitch (35 mm), transverse pitch (70 mm), height (h), a… Show more
