Thermohydraulic Performance Enhancement of a Solar Air Heater Using Longitudinal Alternating Baffles: Experimental and 3D-CFD Study
This study presents a comparative experimental and numerical investigation of two solar air heater (SAH) configurations: a flat-panel absorber (F-SAH) and a longitudinal-baffle absorber (LB-SAH). Experiments were conducted under real outdoor conditions at mass flow rates of 0.00410, 0.00513, and 0.00616 kg s−1, and a t...
