| Résumé | A numerical analysis is proposed to predict the thermal and flow field for turbulent flow in a double-pass solar collector. The conservation equations are solved by using finite volume method. The k-omega-SST turbulence model is used. The influence of the mass flow rate of air, which changes in range of 0.0139 kg/s and 0.062 kg/s, is chosen as the main parameter. The results show that the flow characteristics strongly depend on massflow rate of air and the geometry of the double pass solar air collector. |
