Overview

Theoretical analysis shows increased thermal efficiency in solar air heaters by optimizing fin configurations and tilt angles.

Key Points

  • Significant enhancement in average thermal efficiency was achieved, reaching 49.67% with a fin height of 15 mm.
  • Varying the mass flow rate from 0.0025 to 0.02 kg/s highlighted the importance of optimal tilt angle and fin height.
  • The methodology employed Computational Fluid Dynamics to systematically evaluate fin configurations for improved heat transfer.
  • Findings suggest that optimizing fin dimensions can lead to substantial improvements in solar air heaters' energy conversion capabilities.
