Here in this work ribs were places inside the convex shape solar air heater. For analysing the effect of different pitch ratio, four different pitch ratio geometry was analysed numerically using ansys fluent. Through CFD analysis 25 mm pitch ratio shows the maximum heat transfer as compared to other pitch ratio. Effect of different shapes of ribs on heat transfer was also analysed, for that four different shapes of ribs was considered. Rectangular, triangular, right angle triangular and trapezoidal shapes of ribs was considered during the CFD numerical analysis. In the triangular shape of ribs shows the maximum heat transfer rate. It also analysed the effect of change in heat flux on absorber plate and measure the value of Nusselt number and heat transfer enhancement factor for each case in each type of solar air heater design.
