Exergy based modeling and optimization of solar thermal collector provided with impinging air jets

The irreversible absorption of solar energy accompanied by emission for conversion into thermal energy takes place at the cost of exergy losses from the collector and the effectiveness of this conversion is evaluated in terms of exergy efficiency based upon second law of thermodynamics. Presented in...
