Abstract
This is two parl paper. In part one of the papet; an overview on the use Of packed beds on heat collectors To be used in natural convection systems is presented. A brief theoretical background and literature review has also been presented. Theoretical analysis and performance equations are pre- sented in detail. Two zypes of absorbers are proposed for investigation. The firs,' one will be with flow below the absorber and the other with flow "'through " {he absorber. These shall be compared with the conventional flat plate collector. For comparing the performance, packings of different materials, shapes, and sizes will be considered. 'n part II of the papet; testing ,mvcedure. results and their analysis will be presented. This will include interpretationsfor collectors suitability for use in driers for cur- ing tobbaco.
