Heat transfer characteristics of a back-corrugated absorber surface for solar air collectors
Abstract
Current literature on solar air collectors emphasizes satisfactory heat transfer between the absorber and the flowing air as being a major factor in overall performance. Heat transfer in the airflow passages, usually in or near the transitional flow range, is also influenced by entrance effects. The present study experimentally examines a back-corrugated absorber-convector comprised of a rectangularly corrugated plate attached to the back side of a flat absorber plate with a high temperature, high strength adhesive. 8 refs.
