%0 Journal Article %T Estimation of Thermal Efficiency Values of Different Type Solar Collectors by Using Computational Intelligence Methods %A Ebru KAVAK AKPINAR %A Mehmet DA£¿ %J - %D 2018 %X In this study, an air heated solar collector (AHSC) with solar tracking feature and an air heated solar collector fixed with azimuth angle were used. The thermal performances of the moving and stationary AHSC have been experimentally investigated. The inlet and outlet temperatures of the air, the solar radiation, collector surface temperatures and the exit velocity of the air from the collectors are measured. The thermal efficiencies of both collectors were calculated based on the measurements made. Two different predictive models were obtained by linear regression and decision tree regression for the obtained experimental thermal efficiency values. The obtained experimental thermal efficiencies were compared and it was found that the AHSC with solar tracking function works more efficiently. As a result, the error rates of the two predictive models obtained are compared and linear regression has been shown to produce a less faulty predictive model %K G¨¹ne£¿ Takip Sistemi %K G¨¹ne£¿ Kollekt£¿r¨¹ %K Is£¿l Verim %K Regresyon %U http://dergipark.org.tr/humder/issue/40431/440916
