The thermal efficiency of the heat receiving panels of solar collectors and CFD analysis of a screw duct collector

Abstract

The designs of heat-receiving panels, which are the main absorbing elements of solar collectors, as well as new designs of heat- receiving panels of solar collectors, are considered and studied in order to organize production based on local raw materials. The CFD analysis of the solar spiral collector was performed using the SolidWorks software. The initial 3D drawing of the panel was developed and the project was developed in Flow Simulation and certain results were obtained. The obtained results were compared with the results of previously published articles. These results are detailed in the Results and Discussion section of the article.
