Abstract

This paper concerned with the numerical study of thermal and mass diffusive natural convection flow inside a triangular shape solar collector using finite element method for the governing equations expressing the velocity pressure formulation along with the energy and concentration balance equations. In the solution procedure, the isothermal and iso-concentration boundary conditions are assumed at the absorber and covers of collector. Local and mean heat and mass transfer rates for the thermal Rayleigh number and Lewis number are presented. Streamlines, isotherms and iso-concentration are also presented for the aforesaid parameters. The result found in this study fully agreed with the previous published work. But this result will be profitable for the design of the collector.
