Abstract

In the present work, a comparative study on the performance and optimization of the different absorber plate. In order to establish the performance of solar air heater/solar water heater depends significantly on the heat transfer rate between the absorber plate and water, on the amount of solar radiation incident on the absorber plate. In this investigation of heat transfer and thermal conductivity results have been compared with those for different absorber plate under similar flow and thermal boundary condition to determine thermo-hydraulic performance. Correlations have shown that (heat transfer factor, friction factor, fin efficiency factor, collector efficiency factor and heat removal factor).
