Effect of Absorber plate material on flat plate collector efficiency
The study was conducted to investigate the effect of absorber plate material on the efficiency of heat-absorbing flat plate collectors. Aluminum and copper used in this study because of the heat transfer ability of both materials is high. Absorber plate thicknesses used were 1 millimeter and 2 milli...
