The paper presents the investigation of the optimum design parameters of a solar air heater (SAH) having wire ribs as artificial roughness by using the Taguchi method. The solar air heater has arc shape roughness geometry with apex upstream flow on the absorber plate. The objective of this
paper is to obtain a set of parameters that deliver maximum thermo-hydraulic performance. For this objective, a new parameter the thermo-hydraulic improvement parameter (ηTHIP), has been introduced. For the present analysis, the effects of Reynolds number (Re), relative roughness pitch (P/e), angle of attack (α), and relative roughness height (e/Dh), denoted by A, B, C, and D, respectively, have been considered. An (L18 = 61 · 3 2 ) orthogonal array (OA) was chosen as an experimental plan for applying the Taguchi method. The set of control factors for the solar air heater SAH which delivers the maximum Nusselt number (Nu), and minimum friction factor (fr) – are A6B2C2, and A1B1C3 respectively. To obtain the maximum THIP the experimental set-up requires only one single run using the parameter A6B2C2, hence there is no need to run it all 54 times.

This paper presents the outdoor experimental results for thermal performance analysis of artificially roughened solar air heaters (SAHs). Circular wire ribs have been arranged to form arc shape geometry on the absorber plates and have been tested for two configurations of SAHs named as arc
shape apex-downstream flow and arc shape apex-upstream flow SAH. Roughness parameters have been taken as relative roughness pitch in the range of 8–15, angle of attack 45°–75°, and for fixed relative roughness height of 0.0454, duct width to duct height ratio of 11. During the experimental analysis the mass flow rate varied from 0.0100 to 0.0471 kg/s. Based on the experimental results it was found that roughness with apexupstream flow SAH is having higher value of thermal efficiency, heat removal factor and collector efficiency factor as compared to roughness with apexdownstream flow SAH and simple absorber plate SAH. In the range of the operating parameters investigated the maximum of thermal efficiency, heat removal factor, and collector efficiency factor have been found.

In present article a mathematical model of arc shape wire roughened solar air heater, on the basis of energy and exergy output rates, entropy generation rate and augmentation entropy generation number, has been developed. A parametric study leading to entropy generation minimization has also
been performed. In the analysis the geometric and operating parameters which have been considered as variable are: inlet air temperature, duct depth, collector width to duct depth ratio, mass flow rate per unit collector area, and temperature rise parameter. Results have been presented to see the effects of these values on the energy and exergy output rates of the roughened solar air heater. Effect of different values of wire rib roughness parameters on entropy generation has also been presented. Finally, design curves and optimization for different rib roughness parameters on the basis of minimum entropy generation number with temperature rise parameter, have been presented and optimum values also have been found out 0.004 to 0.010 (Km2 )/W. The entropy generation rate obtained for the system, in the present work has been compared with those obtained for solar air heater with different roughness geometries on absorber plates available in the literature for common roughness parameters and operating parameters which validate the present results.
