Effect of Glass Thickness on Performance of Flat Plate Solar Collectors for Fruits Drying

This study aimed at investigating the effect of thickness of glazing material on the performance of flat plate solar collectors. Performance of solar collector is affected by glaze transmittance, absorptance, and reflectance which results into major heat losses in the system. Four solar collector mo...
