This paper presents a review of exergy analysis of solar thermal collectors and processes. It
includes not only various types of solar collectors, but also various applications of solar …

Utilisation of solar radiation to heat air for various purposes, eg ventilation, pre heat, process
air heat and their applications has attracted more and more interests. Wide range of …

Systems engineered by man to harness solar heat in a controlled manner now include a
diverse range of technologies each serving distinctive needs in particular climate contexts …

This paper developed a new mathematical model for transpired solar collectors (TSC) which
better considered radiative heat transfer of the corrugated absorber. The model offers …

Glazed transpired collectors are less efficient in collecting heat due to optical shielding,
while unglazed transpired collectors experience large heat losses in areas with high …

The solar preheating wall provides an effective solution to the conflict between the
requirement for fresh air and the need for heat conservation in winter by preheating fresh …

This review paper presents an overview of transpired solar collectors (TSCs)-a clean energy
technology that has gained considerable attention due to its potential to minimise building …

In this paper, forced convection flow and heat transfer of MWCNTs-water nanofluid in heat
sink collector equipped with mixers are studied. The three-dimensional governing equations …

It is necessary to improve indoor air quality while meeting the indoor thermal demand of
buildings during winter. The transpired solar collector (TSC) is a solar energy integration …

A new type of unglazed transpired collector (UTC) incorporating phase change materials
(PCMs) is presented. A time-dependent model consisting of eight 1D PDEs is derived from …
