Abstract

Having kilometers of asphalt road, yet with this heat going to waste, an attempt has been made in this research to extract the road's renewable energy heat. The purpose of the experiment is to compare the energy and exergy efficiency of various materials of asphalt solar water heaters (ASWH), as well as heat transmission through the water tube and how friction affects exergy destruction. The water flow rate of one ASWH was 0.01 kg/s, while that of the other was 0.02 kg/s. Each ASWH has an area of 0.5 square meters. The copper tube is buried 10 mm deep in the asphalt. 15 degrees is the angle of inclination. The results indicate that the energy and exergy efficiencies are reasonably high for the water flow rate of 0.02 kg/s. Depending on the water flow rate, asphalt temperature, and sunlight intensity, the energy and exergy efficiencies changed from 32% to 65% and 5.8% to 16%, respectively. The water flow rate is an essential parameter for estimating the internal convective heat transfer coefficient and Reynolds number in order to calculate the friction factor in the copper tube based on internal convection heat transfer. In contrast, the friction factor is a consequence of the pressure loss and exergy degradation induced by friction.
