Claims:WE CLAIMS

1. Our Invention Thermal performance enhancement of novel tile shape absorber solar air collector is the present invention evaluated the thermal and thermo-hydraulic performance of novel tile shape absorber plate solar air collector (novel TSAPSAC) and an equated with conventional flat absorber plate solar air collector (FAPSAC). Based on the thermal efficiency amount produced, the collector with novel TPAPSAC is much superior and enhanced temperature rise than the FAPSAC. Outcomes of the present study, the thermal efficiency rises with the increasing mass flow rate of air. The maximum thermal energy achieved for the novel TPAPSAC and FAPSAC was 59.40% and 52.72%, respectively, for a 0.030 kg/s air mass flow rate. The novel TPAPSAC shows better performance because the tile shape geometry provides a higher surface area that receives maximum solar radiation. Tile shape design increases the air turbulence and vortex generation, decreasing laminar sub-layer generation near the absorber plate surface. The higher temperature rises for novel TPAPSAC and FAPSAC was 74.9 ºC and 66.9 ºC for 0.010 kg/s. Overall, the novel TPAPSAC exhibited better thermal efficiency results, thermo-hydraulic efficiency, and temperature rise enhanced 12.67%, 12.63%, and 11.95%, respectively.
