Abstract

The awareness about limited energy resources has urged the scientific community to scrutinize the energy conversion devices and optimize existing limited resources. In this analytical study, the exergetic performance analysis of a triangular cross-section square ribbed solar air heater (SAH) is compared with a conventional SAH. Reynolds number (Re) and temperature rise parameter (∆T/G) are varied, and their effect on exergetic efficiency is quantified. For the present study, maximum exergetic efficiency for the present study is obtained for non-dimensionalized rib height (e/D) of 0.05 and non-dimensionalized rib pitch (P/e) of 10. The optimum combinations of roughness parameters are interpreted through plots to design turbulators for triangular cross-section solar air heaters.
