Effects of Delta-Shaped Obstacles on the Thermal Performance of Solar Air Heater

An experimental investigation has been carried out to study the effect of delta-shaped obstacles mounted on the absorber surface of an air heater duct with an aspect ratio 6 : 1 resembling the conditions close to solar air heaters. This study encompassed the Reynolds number (Re) ranging from 3400 to...
