Summary

This work presents a tridimensional numerical study of the natural convection and the entropy generation in an inclined solar collector equipped with five equidistant partitions. A parametric study is made for various partitions lengths and Rayleigh numbers while Prandtl number was fixed at Pr=0.71 and the inclination angle is 45°. Results are reported in terms of iso-surfaces of temperature, isotherms, particles trajectories, vector velocity projection, average Nusselt number along the absorber plate and entropies generation contours.
