Description
New Age International (P) Ltd., Publishers Solar Thermal Energy by Dr. A Sreekumar, G Raam Dheep
This book on Solar Thermal Energy–Including Laboratory Experiments is articulated to serve as an unswerving textbook–cum–laboratory manual for undergraduate, postgraduate and research students of science, engineering and technology. This book gives a coverage of fundamentals of heat and mass transfer, solar thermal energy devices along with all the important practical experiments in solar thermal energy engineering. Detailed descriptions are given in the beginning of the book to elucidate the theoretical aspects of practical experiments. Apposite tabular columns for recording the observations are given in all the experiments. Relevant equations for evaluating the performance of various solar thermal collectors are appended with appropriate experiments. This book will find its use as an authentic manual for solar thermal energy education as well as testing of different types of solar thermal collectors.
