INVESTIGATION OF FREE CONVECTION OVER TROMBE WALL

Abstract

The details of convective heat transfer through Trombe Wall is presented and discussed. Theoritical work, experimental work and simulation of passive solar houses using Trombe Wall have been presented separately. For a given Tr-ombe Wall height & aspect ratio,, continuity, momentum and energy equations are solved simultaneously using "Upwind fully implicit finite difference scheme" for different inlet velocity profiles. The results for all operating conditions were brought tightly together in terms of groups NuH and RaH, and accurate correlations for different inlet velocity profits are
