Abstract

The present study of heat transfer in a rectangular duct of a solar air heater having Rectangular rib
roughness on the absorber plate by using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The problem have
been solved by the Finite Difference Method. It has been found that the counter flow solar air heater
is more efficient than the conventional solar air heaters. The efficiency of counter flow with porous
matrix solar air heater is highest among all four types of solar air heaters which are been taken into
consideration.
