The Air Solar Collectors: Introduction of Chicanes to Favour the Heat Transfer and Temperature in the Air Stream Dynamics

The thermal performance of a single pass solar air heater with chicanes attached was investigated numerically using a 2D model of solar air stream dynamics collectors where the turbulence standard (k-ε) model has been implemented. The chicane is formed with two parts: the first is perpendicular to t...
