An approximate analytical solution for the predection of transient responses of the trombe wall
Abstract:
This paper reports an analytical technique for the prediction of some of the transient thermal and hydrodynamic characteristics of a Trombe wall. The present analytical technique when compared with the numerical techniques based on the finite difference method, seems to predict well the temperature distribution, stream function and velocity profile in the Trombe wall channel. It is hoped that this technique will pave the way for solving analytically similar problems in heat transfer and fluid mechanics.
