In the design of solar air heaters (SAHs), channel depth is a principal variable to be fixed. In this paper, the effect … of the channel depth on the energy gain of type I and type III SAHs has been investigated by computational fluid dynamics … SAH varies greatly with the change of channel depth. Based on the first and second laws of thermodynamics, the optimal …
