Abstract
This article presents a comparative study of the aerodynamic and thermal behavior of various types of flat-plate solar collectors. The study is based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) which solves turbulent airflow with different types of baffles. Four models of flat-plate solar collectors were investigated: solar collectors with inclined baffles (SCIB), solar collectors with arched baffles (SCAB), solar collectors with perpendicular baffles (SCPB), and solar collectors with a maze of baffles (SCMB). The reduction in flow passage surface area due to the presence of baffles results in significant increases in airspeed, reaching 254%, 266%, 290%, and 502% of the inlet speed for SCIB, SCAB, SCPB, and SCMB, respectively.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
