...Sunirmit Verma; Ranjan Das A novel combination of an earth air tunnel (EAT) and a sensible thermal storage-aided solar air heater has been proposed when the sensible storage medium is taken to be rocks filled within the air flow passage. Both time-dependent and steady-state models are reported...
