Heat Transfer Analysis of a Radiatively Participating In a Channel Flow

Abstract

The main aim of this project is to investigate heat transfer by radiation and convention simultaneously in a channel flowof solar flat plate collector.The effect of radiation on the heat transferis determined. The parameters thickness of plate 5mm, 10mm, the time zones 8.55AM, 1.55PM on a certain day of summer season are considered and compared for the heat transfer.3D models of the flat plate collector are done in Creo 2.0. CFD and thermal analysis is done in Ansys to determine radiation heat transfer, heat flux.
