Abstract
In this paper, we analyse the performance of a suspended plate solar a ir heater working at low and moderate temperatures with a fluid flow o n both sides of the absorber plate. A theoretical model for the system and subsequent numerical analysis of the system is presented in stead y state. Some experimental measurements of the fabricated collector un der realistic parameters is made, and an optimal design is given.
