Forced-Convection Heat Transfer in Solar Collectors and Heat Exchangers: A Review

Abstract

Solar thermal collectors, as well as heat exchangers, are energy systems that have become very popular recently in various research centers around the world. Clean systems used to generate thermal energy for its importance in human life. Most of the studies focused on the impact of various physical factors on the efficiency and performance of these systems in the presence of different structures and problems. The current research is mostly focused on evaluating thermal performance in solar receivers and heat exchangers using forced thermal transfer. Due to its importance in numerous industrial domains, the current study is primarily focused on evaluating thermal performance based on forced thermal transfer in solar receivers and heat exchangers.
