Review on Exergy and Energy Analysis of Solar Air Heater

Performance characteristics of a transpired solar air heater

Thermal Performance of a Double-pass Solar Air Heater

This study analyzes the thermal performance of solar thermal energy using double-pass absorber plate in Sanandaj, Iran. To this end, a mathematical model was encoded according to the energy and exergy balance equations and solved by MATLAB software. Given the environmental conditions and radiation intensity of a winter day in Sanandaj, the effects of external parameters such as radiation intens...

Life Cycle Exergy Analysis of Solar Energy Systems

With a dependence on finite natural resources, increasing energy demands and increasing environmental problems, the use of renewable resources becomes even more important. This is one part of a sustainable development. The ultimate source of most of our renewable energy supplies is the sun. The world’s primary energy use is easily exceeded by the solar energy by a factor of about 10000 [1]. The...

Experimental Investigations on Packed Bed Solar Air Heater

Energy and Exergy Analysis of Air PV/T Collector of Forced Convection with and without Glass Cover

In this study, the overall performance of air PV/T, based on energy and exergy analysis has been investigated. Two combinations of air PV/T, which consist of unglazed and glazed air PV/T, are considered. Thermal analysis and numerical calculations were carried out, and the performance parameters of the system for the climate conditions of Kerman were studied. The results are presented in graphs...
