A Three Dimensional Performance Analysis of a Developed Evacuated Tube Collector using a CFD Fluent Solar Load Model
For the flow through type selected geometry of the designed evacuated tube collector ETC, a three dimensional simulation and analysis of the thermal performance was done, using the ray-tracing solar load model provided by the ANSYS-FLUENT software. In this model the solar radiation heat flux is solv...
