Hundemann, A S

Citations from worldwide literature on the design, thermal performance, and optimization of air- and liquid-type flat plate collectors are covered. Topic areas include heat loss and heat transfer, effect of orientation, corrosion protection, optical coatings, enhancement of performance through the use of planar reflectors, and the effect of honeycomb layers on collector performance. A few studies pertain to grooved, corrugated, or V-trough collectors. Abstracts dealing with methods of measuring the performance of flat plate collectors and computer optimization studies are included. (This bibliography contains 256 citations, 82 of which are new entries to the previous edition.)
