Evaluation Of Heat Efficiency Of Flat Solar Air Heaters, E.S. Abbasov, M.A. Umurzakova

Journal of Tashkent Institute of Railway Engineers

The article discusses the issues of increasing the thermal efficiency of flat solar air collectors. To achieve the goal, the authors propose to use methods of wall intensification of heat transfer (using the diffuser-confusor channels and surfaces with spherical depressions). In the article formulas for calculating the thermal efficiency and the relative thermal performance of the collectors are developed
