Effect of conical pin arrangement on heat transfer efficiency of a free convective solar air heater
The artificial roughnesses on absorber plate have been known to enhance the performance of the solar air heater under forced convection. The objective of this paper is to study the effect of conical pin arrangement on the heat transfer enhancement of free convective solar air heater. The conical pin...
