Solar Air Heater Architecture and Energy Output with CFD Analysis

The primary purpose of this article is the design of a solar air heater and the analysis of the computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The air is heated and needed for solar energy to be absorbed heat in this system. High absorption strength must refer to the material used to absorb the material. Air temperature, wind speed, internal temperature, and solar isolation are the parameters that influence the thermal efficiency of a solar air heater. Solar air heaters are used in different streams including heating rooms, cooling of buildings, drying, cure and industrial applications for agriculture goods. It is needed to find out the solar heat output and efficiency under different flow rates (4 m/s to 8 m/s) and different temperature inputs (25°C to 50°C). The solar air heater can be heated at various speeds. Analysis and simulation in ANSYS R15.0 were done with the assistance of the SOLID WORKS software and computing fluid dynamics analysis. Contrast theoretical and experimental predictions, finally.
