| Abstract: | An experimental study has been carried out for enhancement of heat transfer coefficient of a solar air heater having roughened air duct provided with artificial roughness in the form of arc-shape parallel wire as roughness element. Increment in friction factor by provided with such artificial roughness elements has also been studied. The effect of system parameters such as relative roughness height (e/d) and arc angle (α/90) have been studied on Nusselt number (Nu) and friction factor (f) with Reynolds number (Re) varied from 2000 to 17000. Considerable enhancement in heat transfer coefficient has been achieved with such roughness element. Using experimental data correlations for Nusselt number and friction factor have also been developed for such solar air heaters, which gives a good agreement between predicted values and experimental values of Nusselt number and friction factor. |
