Entropy-based multi-criteria decision optimization of dimpled solar air heater duct using WASPAS and MAIRCA models

Abstract The purpose of the current examination is to optimize the geometric parameters of dimple-shaped roughened solar air heater (DSRSAH), for which a hybrid multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) approach has been developed. It balances the advantages of improved heat transfer (HT) with the drawb...
