摘要：

In the present investigation, two types (Type A and Type B) of the double-pass packed bed solar air heater under external recycle are investigated theoretically. In Type A, the porous media is considered in the upper channel, whereas in Type B, the porous media is considered in the lower channel. Iron scraps are used as a packed bed material (porous media) to strengthen the convective heat transfer coefficient for air flowing through the packed bed. The mathematical model for these two air heaters operating under forced convection mode is presented. The results revealed that the thermal and thermo-hydraulic efficiencies of Type A are higher as compared to Type B. In order to validate the models, the theoretical results obtained from the conventional model of Type B are compared with the theoretical results obtained from the previous investigation and showed that good agreement is achieved. © 2015 Taylor & Francis.
