dc.description.abstract | In this work, the effect of applying nano-enhanced absorber coating on the energetic and exergetic performance of an unglazed vertical solar air heating system has been analyzed numerically and experimentally. In the first step of the research, various configurations of vertical solar air heaters including hollow, baffled and perforated baffled systems have been surveyed by using computational fluid dynamics. According to the numerically obtained findings, the system with perforated baffles gave the best performance metrics. In this regard, two heating systems with perforated baffles have been manufactured. One of the system was painted with a regular matt black paint while CuO nano-embedded black paint applied to the other solar heater. Fabricated heaters have been experimentally surveyed at three different flow rates. Thermal efficiency values for the heaters with and without nanoparticles were found between 58.10-76.22% and 54.96-72.05%, respectively. Applying nano-embedded coating increased the exergy efficiency in the range of 9.25-10.58%. In addition, maximum deviation of numerically and experimentally attained outlet temperature values was calculated as 4.74%. Moreover, general findings of this research showed the successful utilization of nano-enhanced absorber coating. (C) 2022 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. | |
