The fundamentals of heat transfer and its applications, the classification of heat transfer
technology and different heat transfer techniques, and the needs for augmentation and its …

Heat transfer continues to be a field of major interest to engineering and scientific
researchers, as well as designers, developers, and manufacturers. Considerable effort has …

The operation of a flat-plate solar collector using three different working fluid flows (water, ie
1, 1.6, 2 L/min) has been modelled using the artificial neural networks (ANNs) of …

Every year, energy demands and global warming are increasing due to the use of
conventional energy sources. Hence, the need of the hour requires power to be produced by …

A general distribution function q (t) W/m2for clear days is suggested to predict the global
solar irradiance incident on a horizontal surface as a function of the local day time and the …

[en] The performance of a flat plate solar collector with thin absorber is studied. The
temperature of the absorber and its variation along the local day time is obtained by solving …

Abstract Models were developed to predict global solar radiation and the energy harnessed
by a solar tunnel dryer, and simulated in Visual Basic 6. In addition, the simulated data were …

A simple formula to predict the received global solar irradiance q (t), W/m2 for clear days is
suggested on pure theoretical basis. It is expressed in terms of the length of the local day …

Una optimización en el rendimiento de los sistemas solares térmicos adaptando los hábitos
de consumo del agua caliente a las horas y días cuando la irradiación solar es más alta …

Flat plate collector with thin absorber is studied. Heat balance equation is solved to estimate
the temperature of the absorber and its variation along the local day time. The same …
