Development Of A Mathematical Model To Predict Thermal Performance And Cost Effectiveness Of Solar Air Heaters

TL;DRAbstract

Energy is a subject of vital importance because of our great dependence on them in all aspects of life including social, economy and even in defence. In Malaysia the analyses of solar radiation at several main towns show that solar radiation has potential for drying purpose. This research is concerned with developing an internet-based mathematical model which is able to predict the thermal performance and cost effectiveness for different types of solar air heaters. The data and knowledge collected from published sources on solar collectors, literature review and the field survey along with personal communications in the solar energy field is used to develop an internet based mathematical model given the code name Mathematical Modeling for Solar Air Heaters (MMSAH). This Mathematical Model incorporates knowledge and able to calculate the parameters required to predict the thermal efficiency and the cost effectiveness of solar air heaters. These parameters are absorber plate temperature
