Thermal Performance of Square tube Solar Water Heater
Authors(3) :-Mr. Ajit Chaudhari, Mr. Kirit Kachhela, Mr. Twinkal Bhavsar
A Square shaped tube with Spring insertion in Solar water heater. The fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics were carried out of a squared shaped tube with spring insertion. We are going to increase the performance of solar water heater by changing cross section area of its pipe. By using Square pipe instead of circular we get the more surface area with the same size. As the surface area increases , the heat transfer rate also increases which increase the performance of solar water heater. In addition to this, a close coiled helical spring is also inserted inside the each square tube of solar water heater. By which water will remain for more time in square tube compared to circular tube it will also helps to improve the performance of the same.
