Abstract :
The solar air collectors plans are the elements responsible for collecting solar energy (radiant) by transforming it into thermal energy. It also plays the role of exchange by selling the energy captured the coolant (air) flowing through them. The uses are manifold; namely; space heating, drying, etc. Their design is oriented in the desired efficacy, their destinations and the costs of installation. Several models were constructed and studied to identify the parameters that characterize them. We treated in this work the influence of physical and geometrical characteristics of the hydrodynamics of the air stream flowing inside the solar collector with triangular baffles.
