TY - JOUR AU - Oliveira, Rafiqul AU - Nair, Wolfgang AU - Saleh, Abdul AU - El-Sayed, Anwar TI - On Solar Thermal Collectors JO - Open Access Journal of Engineering Applications PY - 1985 VL - 9 IS - 1 SP - 358 EP - 381 AB - The present work is motivated by persistent design problems associated with solar thermal collectors in jute processing mills. The influence of the main design variables on the response is assessed in detail through Runge-Kutta integration. The measured response of solar thermal collectors agrees with theory in 5 of the cases considered. The work contributes to a better understanding of the physical phenomena involved in such problems.
