Abstract:
The article considers a solar air heater with a heat sink of metal shavings and the possibility of increasing efficiency by changing the location of the heat sink inside the structure. And also considered to improve the efficiency of the corrugated surface of the heat sink due to the angle of the corrugations. An analytical formula for calculating the radiation transmittance through the form of metal shavings is proposed.
Keywords:renewable energy sources, useful heat, efficiency, solar air heater, heat sink, metal shavings.
