Experimental investigation of heat transfer and friction factor characteristics of solar air heater using wavy delta winglets

•Wavy winglets offer superior thermal performance over smooth channel.•Heat transfer rate increases with decreasing relative longitudinal pitch.•Wavy winglet offer best TEF performance of order of 2.09 at ϕ=5, P/H=3. In the present work experimental investigation on the heat transfer and friction ch...
