For the increment of heat transfer from solar air heater, since last many decades’ researcher is optimizing the different parameters and also using the different mechanisms to enhance the heat transfer from heat sink. In the same order heat this work effect of use of quarter circular shape rib inside the convex shape solar air heater was performed. The thermo-hydraulic analysis of convex shape solar heater with different pitch and arrangement of quarter circular ribs was analysed. Here in this work first the CFD analysis of convex solar air heater was performed and validated with the previous published experimental data. After validating the CFD model of solar heater, effect of different pitch in between quarter circular shape ribs was analysed. For analysing the effect of different pitch in between the ribs four different pitch was considered that is 50, 60 70 and 80 mm. In each case of analysis Nusselt number, pressure variation, velocity variation throughout the duct and Heat transfer enhancement factor was calculated.
