摘要
This communication presents a mathematical model for the thermal performance of a triple-pass solar air heater. The model predicts a rise of 4-22°C in the temperature of air (corresponding to efficiencies of 0.37-0.46) during a typical day in Nsukka, Nigeria in April; the predictions have been compared with the reported experimental results of Ezeike [Energy in Agriculture, Vol. 5, pp. 1-20 (1986)]. © 1990.
