Overview

Numerical analysis measures thermal performance in a double-pass solar air collector, indicating significant improvements.

Key Points

  • This research aims to evaluate the thermal performance of a double-pass solar air collector using CFD.
  • Conducted numerical analysis using COMSOL Multiphysics software.
  • Analyzed a double-pass solar air collector with a perforated corrugated plate.
  • Varied solar radiation levels between 552-855 W/m2 during simulations.
  • Considered inlet air velocity at 0.5 m/s and inlet temperature at 298.15 K.
  • Calculated temperature distribution, convective heat transfer coefficient, useful energy gain, and overall thermal efficiency.
  • Increased outlet air temperature by 10-14 °C compared to single-pass collectors.
  • Enhanced convective heat transfer coefficient by 22-31%.
  • Improved thermal efficiency by 18.4% over conventional systems.
  • The double-pass design proved highly effective under changing solar conditions.
