Overview

Experimental and numerical methods reveal enhanced heat transfer efficiency in a solar air heater, suggesting significant thermal performance improvements with large fins.

Key Points

  • Results show that increasing the number of fins boosts heat transfer efficiency from 134.35 W to 233.29 W.
  • The solar air heater reached a maximum air temperature of 55 °C, corresponding to a 33 °C rise from the inlet temperature.
  • Computational fluid dynamics simulations validated experimental findings, confirming the design's effectiveness in thermal performance.
  • This budget-friendly solution provides insights into optimizing solar air heaters for energy-efficient applications.
