Temperature distribution in solar absorbers are important to design their shape. However, Proper boundary conditions are crucial to obtain accurate values.
Could anyone suggest me any useful paper, book or scientific report?
Dear Moghanlou,
There is no hard and fast rule for the design of solar absorbers. However, it is advisable to refer to standards such as ASHRAE, etc. for getting the wider picture. Now, regarding the simulation part.
Always it is advisable to do a simple experimentation on a base model to identify the critical factors that may affect the efficiency of the collector. Additionally, it will help you to get data regarding the ambient parameters (temperature, irradiation, wind speed, humidity, etc.) for the present location. Based on the obtained data, you can write a UDF to simulate complex design further on your proposed collector.
Now, if you are unable to go with experimentation,
You can use the meteorological data of your location to input initial and boundary conditions for a start. Further, you can modify the design or change the inputs based on the results you generated.
