Improve the performance of a solar air heater by adding aluminum chip, paraffin wax, and nano-SiC
In this study, a solar air heater was proposed to suit the atmosphere of the city of Baghdad in winter. In this heater, aluminum chip and tubes filled with nano-silicon carbide (SiC) added to paraffin wax to improve its thermophysical properties were used. The density and viscosity of nano-SiC + par...
