Theoretical analysis of solar thermal collector and flat plate bottom reflector with a gap between them

Augmentation of solar radiation absorbed on a flat plate solar thermal collector by a flat plate bottom reflector was numerically determined when there was a gap between the collector and reflector. The inclination of both the collector and reflector was assumed to be adjustable according to the sea...
