Abstract

The effect of collector aspect ratio of the collector efficiency of flat-plate solar air heaters has been investigated theoretically and experimentally. With constant collector area, the collector efficiency increases when the collector aspect ratio increases. The theoretical predictions agree reasonably well with experimental results.
