EFFICIENCY OF FLAT SOLAR COLLECTOR WITH FINNED HEAT PIPES
- AUTHOR(S):
V. M. Petkov
- ABSTRACT:
The influence of the fin width, degree of filling in of the heat pipe and the kind of the glass cover on the instant characteristics of the flat solar collector with finned heat pipes has been investigated. The variation of the instant efficiency of the solar collector during the day hours, with solar heat flux and temperature of the intermediate coolant is presented.

PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF LAMINAR FULLY DEVELOPED FLOW THROUGH TRAPEZOIDAL AND HEXAGONAL DUCTS SUBJECTED TO H1 BOUNDARY CONDITION. PART 2
- AUTHOR(S):
V. M. Petkov, V. D. Zimparov
- ABSTRACT:
Extended performance evaluation criteria (ExPEC) have been used to assess the performance characteristics of single-phase fully developed laminar flow through bundle of tubes with trapezoidal and hexagonal ducts. The bundle with circular tubes has been used as a reference heat transfer unit. The H1 boundary condition has been selected as thermal boundary condition. The performance characteristics
of the heat unit with non-circular tubes have been evaluated and compared to those of the reference unit for different objectives and constraints imposed. As a common constraint, the hydraulic diameter of the non-circular duct has been specified. The results showed that only in the case VG-1 the benefit can be obtained for the values of the irreversibility ratio.
