Abstract: This work is undertaken with an objective to develop and implement a trained particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm for prediction of an optimized set of design and operating parameters for a smooth flat plate solar air heater (SFPSAH). The simulation is carried out based on the basis of the algorithm developed for three different cases using the climatic condition data of the city Hamirpur, India situated between (latitude) 31°25′–31°52′ N and (longitude) 76°18′ to 76°44′ E. The final results obtained from this algorithm are compared with experimental results and found to be satisfactory as far as flexibility, speed and global convergence are concerned.
