 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

It is our absolute pleasure to present this hard worked project phase to one and all. It has
been a journey of knowledge propelled with shear enthusiasm. The successful completion of any
task would be incomplete without the mention of the team who have constantly guided and
inspired us for the completion of this project phase 1.

We express our gratitude to Mr. (Guide Name), Assistant Professor/Professor,

Department of Mechanical Engineering, JIT, Davanagere, for his valuable guidance and
continual encouragement and assistance throughout the project. We greatly appreciate the
freedom and collegial respect. We are grateful to him for discussions about the technical matters
and suggestions concerned to our project.

We extend my sense of gratitude to Mr. Nagaraja K U & Mr Veeresh Kumar K S,

Assistant Professor, project coordinators, Department of Mechanical Engineering, JIT,
Davanagere for extending support and cooperation which helped us in completion of the project
phase 1.

We extend our sense of gratitude to Dr. Rajaneesh N Marigoudar, Head of the

Department, of Mechanical Engineering, JIT, Davanagere for extending support and
cooperation which helped us in completion of the project.

We extend our sense of gratitude to Dr. Ganesh D B, Principal, JIT Davanagere for
providing congenial atmosphere for completion of our project phase1.

We would also like to thank all our friends and family members for providing support
and motivation to understand this project.

advantages of simple design, little maintenance, corrosion free and less severe leakage problems.
These can use both beam and diffuse solar radiation without any orientation towards the sun
[Reference. No]. The main applications of solar air heaters are seasoning of timber, curing of
industrial products, crop drying, space heating [1] and drying of clay building components.
