this research study is performing to enhance the performance of the double pass solar air heater. DOE method fullfactorial array L9 is designed for this and performs the observation for two factors at 3 levels. 15, 18 and 21 number metallicwiry sponges inserted into the double pass solar air heater and 10mm, 20mm, 30mm of H2O pressure difference at inlet isdesigned. The maximum efficiency 88% of the double pass solar air heater is observed with 10mm pressure difference atorifice and 21 numbers of metallic wiry sponges inserted. The efficiency enhancement is higher because of it gives a hugeheat transfer area and high thermal conductivity of S.S.
