Evolutionary Methods Based Modeling and Analysis of Solar Thermal Systems: Sustainability... [Alternatives to traditional fossil fuels are being explored, and a switch to solar energy systems is seen as one of the most promising.

Abstract

[Alternatives to traditional fossil fuels are being explored, and a switch to solar energy systems is seen as one of the most promising. Solar energy devices, such as solar air collectors (SACs), have been widely employed in various residential, commercial, and industrial settings until quite recently. Unfortunately, the most up-to-date research shows that SAC efficiency rates are still quite low. This chapter attempts to obtain better performance of trapezoidal absorber-based SAC in this chapter. Further, the effectiveness of these SAC systems has been improved with the help of some metaheuristic algorithms. This chapter uses the entropy with the JAYA approach, a hybrid MCDM technique, to model and optimize the SAC. Here, the entropy approach is employed for weight extraction, and JAYA is used to optimize the parameters. In light of this, we have conducted 17 experimental trials, with output metrics including energy, exergy, sustainability index, and environmental impact factor. Trial no. 6 outperforms the others statistically, resulting in the highest total score. The energy efficiency of 17.92%, exergy efficiency of 12.51%, sustainability index of 1.14, and environmental impact factor of 0.87 correspond to the optimal settings of 0.0039 kg/s mass flow rate, 45° tilt angle, 790.40 W/m2, and input temperature of 30.6 °C.]
