Thermo-Hydraulic Performance Characteristics and Optimization of Protrusion Rib Roughness in Solar Air Heater
To enhance the thermal performance of solar air heaters (SAHs), protrusion ribs on the absorber are considered to be an attractive solution due to their several advantages. These ribs do not cause a significant pressure drop in the SAH duct and help to enhance the heat transfer to flowing air. On th...
