Project Overview
A recent interest in renewable energy in Saudi Arabia has created a need to find alternative
suitable solutions for energy. Solar energy is one of the most interesting solutions to produce
renewable energy. Therefore, many research centers and universities have shown interest in
conducting experimental studies to improve and develop the efficiency of heat transfer upon the
existing system of solar thermal collector. The aim of this project is to design and test a solar
thermal collector. The collector will be used to test a number of configurations for coils to
maximize the heat transfer. The project results will provide guidelines to utilize the most
efficient coil geometry in solar thermal collectors.
Project Objectives
- Design a test rig coil in different geometries.
- Design a number of coil geometries.
- Design experiments to study the best coil geometry
