Thermohydraulic Performance and Entropy Generation of a Triple-Pass Solar Air Heater with Three Inlets

In this paper, a triple-pass solar air heater with three inlets is analytically investigated. The effects of airflow ratios of the second and third passes (ranging from 0 to 0.4), and the Reynolds number of the third pass (ranging from 8000 to 18,000) on the thermohydraulic efficiency and entropy ge...
