The Thermal Performance of the Two-Pass, Two-Glass-Cover Solar Air Heater
P. Persad,S. Satcunanathan +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the performance prediction of a two-glass-cover solar air heater operated in both the single-pass and two-pass modes of operation is investigated. And the performance in the two-stage mode is independent of the collector length, over the range of collector lengths considered.
