In a solar water heater, energy from the Sun is gathered by water that circulates through tubes in a rooftop collector. The solar radiation enters the collector through a transparent cover and warms the water in the tubes; this water is pumped into a holding tank. Assume that the efficiency of the overall system is 29.0% (that is, 71% of the incident solar energy is lost from the system). What collector area is necessary to raise the temperature of 430...

Chapter 18, Problem 033 How long does a 52 kW water heater take to raise the temperature of 180 L of water from 22°C to 39°C? The specific heat of water is 4186 J/kg.K. The density of water is 1.00 g/cm3. Number Units the tolerance is +/-2%
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...
Solar Energy Engineering 1. Design a hot water system including the number of 4'x 8' solar collectors for an average use for a household of 4 people in Orlando, Florida a. Determine the size of the solar hot water tank b. What is the net solar heat gain in January if the solar collector has an efficiency of 70% and it's installed at an angle of 20% from horizontal. c. What would be a better angle for January? 1. Design...
Refer to Figure 3 (below), depicting a regenerative Rankine cycle with a closed feedwater heater (CFWH) when considering the following system description. Saturated liquid water at a pressure of P before entering the CFWH. 12 kPa is pumped to a pressure of Pi-5 MPa After leaving the CFWH as a saturated liquid, the water continues to a Steam Generator which heats the water to a temperature of Ts 600°C. This superheated steam is used to drive a Turbine. A quantity...
