Influence of using different tapered longitudinal section manifolds in a Z shaped flat plate solar collector on flow distribution uniformity

This paper intentions to study the effect of using different tapered longitudinal section manifolds rather than the uniform one, in a Z shaped flat plate solar collector on; the uniformity of flow distribution, pressure drop, and consequently temperature profile. To this end, a 3D CFD model is plann...
