Higher Order Accurate Transient Numerical Model to Evaluate the Natural Convection Heat Transfer in Flat Plate Solar Collector

The natural convection flow in the air gap between the absorber plate and glass cover of the flat plate solar collectors is predominantly evaluated based on the lumped capacitance method, which does not consider the spatial temperature gradients. With the recent advancements in the field of computat...
