ABSTRACT
In this study, a finite volume method was used to solve the fully Navier-Stokes and energy equations for the problems of
turbulent flow and heat transfer characteristics through room with Trombe wall. The Trombe wall system is made up of water
collector to heat a room has dimensions of (1×0.8×0.8) m. The study chose winter climatic conditions of Baghdad city, Jan., as
the affected atmospheric conditions. The thickness of air gap was changed (1, 2, 3 and 4cm) while the thickness of Trombe wall
was considered constant. The inlet velocity of 2 m/s was assumed on this system. The velocity and temperatures distribution are
predicted and compared.
Keywords: Solar air collector, Heat storage, Ventilated wall, Trombe-wall characteristics, solar walls. |
