AB  - This study presents an analytical investigation on thermal and thermohydraulic performance of
double flow, double and single exposer solar air heaters with corrugated and flat plate absorber. The
performance of collectors are analyzed with different parameters such as mass flow rate and insolation. In order
to assess the accuracy of the present mathematical model, the results of single exposer collectors are compared
with experimental results and found reasonably well. The results show that the performance of double exposer
collectors have significantly higher than single exposer collectors. However, corrugated absorber performance
is more superior to the flat plate absorber.
