Performance Enhancement of Solar Air Heater by Increase Air Travel Distance in Solar Air Heater

Abstract

With the increased attention the efficiency of solar heating facilities and the performance of additional equipment are becoming increasingly important. In the present study, thinking is giving on the heat transfer characteristics of solar air heater with some modifications in design to increase air travel length. Performance of solar air dryer would be checked with and without air heater. Effect of climate conditions would also be studied on its performance.
