Effect of tapered headers on pressure drop and flow distribution in a U-type polymeric solar absorber

This study inspects the effect of tapered headers on pressure drop and flow distribution in a U-type polymeric absorber with novel tapered headers and lens-shaped absorber strings using a validated thermo-hydraulic model. The model results are compared with those obtained from the literature to atta...
