An unglazed flat plate solar water heater is orientated perpendicular to the sun such that the incident radiation reaching the plate is 1100 W/m2. The plate has a semi selective coating such that the plate absorptivity and emissivity is equal to unity for all wavelengths up to 2µm, and 0.13 for all λ > 2µm. Coolant flowing in the collector tubes removes heat at such a rate as to maintain the plate temperature at 80°C. Considering the sun to be...

The solar rays make an angle of 30° with the normal to the plate. Estimate the equilibrium temperature of each plate assuming they are diffuse and that the solar flux is 1368 W/m2. The spectral absorptivity of the black painted surface can be approximated by αλ = o.95 foros λ oc...
Determine the overall heat transfer coefficient (UL) for a Flat Plate Solar Collector inclined at 45 degrees to the horizontal and facing south. The average ambient temperature for the day is 20 degrees C and the observed glass and absorber plate temperatures are 45 degrees C and 69 degrees C respectively.

A flat-plate solar collector is used to heat atmospheric air flowing through a rectangular channel. The bottom surface of the channel is well insulated, while the top surface is subjected to a uniform heat flux 96,which is due to the net effect of solar radiation absorption and heat exchange between the absorber and cover plates.

The roof of a minivan can be approximated as a flat plate, 2-m wide and 3.5- m long. The sun beats down on the roof such that the net solar radiation absorbed is 350 W/m2. If the ambient air is 32 ºC, the car is moving at 100 km/hr, and the inside surface of the roof is heavily insulated, determine the steady-state temperature of the roof (in ºC). Ignore heat loss via radiation emitted from the roof to the surrounding.
