Performance analysis of different U-shaped heat exchangers in parabolic trough solar collector for air heating applications

In this article, the thermal performance of a parabolic trough solar air heater (PTSAH) with a U-shaped heat exchanger is evaluated. The solar air heater's performance is examined by using the copper and aluminum U-shaped heat exchangers (UHX) with and without fin alternately, inside the absorb...
