Heat Transfer and Friction Characteristics of Artificially Roughened Duct used for Solar Air Heaters—a Review
Abstract Solar air heater uses the energy coming from the sun to heat the air. The conversion rate of solar energy to heat depends upon the efficiency of the solar air heater and this efficiency can be increased by the use of artificial roughness on the surface of absorber plate. Various studies were carried out to analyse the effect of different roughness geometries on heat transfer and friction factor characteristics. The thermo-hydraulic performance of solar air heater can be evaluated in terms of effective efficiency, thermo-hydraulic performance parameter and exergetic efficiency. In this study various geometries used for artificial roughness and to improve the performance of solar air heaters were studied. Also correlations developed by various researchers are presented in this paper.
