Exergy-Based Thermo-Hydraulic Performance of Roughened Absorber in Solar Air Heater Duct

This paper presents the thermo-hydraulic performance of small conical ribs on the absorber plate of a solar energy air heater (SAH) using exergy analysis. Application of conical protrusion ribs on the absorber is an attractive solution for enhancing the thermal performance of a SAH. However, these r...
