Heat exchanger for solar collector
The objective of this study is to design and simulate an optimum heat exchanger for evacuated tube solar collector. The simulation was carried out in ANSYS FLUENT 14.0 with two different tube designs, spring and S-Shape. Four materials was analysed in this study, copper, aluminium, steel and brass....
