Investigation of the thermal behavior of water flow within parallel tubes in a solar collector

This paper discusses the numerical simulation of the thermal behavior of steady-state water flows within parallel tubes in a plane solar collector. The CFD modeling technique, which is based on the finite volume method, has been implemented with the SIMPLE algorithm. The governing equations of the f...
