摘要

In the realm of solar energy collection, the SAH is a popular device. In tentionally roughening the surface of a SAH's duct is a helpful method for increasing heat transfer (HT) to the fluid it passes through. This study aims to use discrete arc roughness in a circular pattern to improve THP in SAHs. The experimental investigation of the SAH was carried out using a discrete arc roughness in a circular design form to ascertain and enhance THP. During testing, the following roughness element factors were used: Reynolds Number, Re = 2975–137,393; angle of arc, α = 30°, 45°, 60°, 75°; p/e = 10–11.67; and W/H = 8. Experiments showed that friction factor (f) and Nusselt Number (Nu) are 2.42 and 2.85 times greater than smooth plate.
