Overview

This analysis finds that fins enhance thermal performance in solar air heaters, indicating design benefits.

Key Points

  • The highest air outlet temperature of 73°C was observed in the cylindrical fins configuration.
  • Thermal performance reached a maximum efficiency of 35% using cylindrical fins under solar radiation.
  • Comparatively, triangular fins achieved the lowest thermal performance at 35%.
  • Heat transfer was evaluated through both free and forced convection methods with a steady air mass flow.
