QUESTION 9 A manufacturing factory located at 30° N latitude has a window area 35 m² that consists of double- pane windows made of clear glass (SHGC = 0.766) as given in the Figure Q2. To reduce the solar heat gain on a hot day, a reflective film that reduce the SGHC to 0.261 is considered. The building need cooling during the months of June, July, August and September and need heating during the months of October through April. The average daily solar heat fluxes incident on the west side of this latitude is given in the Table Q2 below.

Calculate the maximum power output of a solar panel whose efficiency is 13 % if the input power is 997 watt. Answer:
How do you differentiate flat plate solar collectors from evacuated tube solar collectors?
Application: Assume a small spacecraft is in open space. One panel is a dedicated radiator (dimensions in image) and is painted with S13 GLO white paint (emissivity = .89). If the radiator is at 30C and has a full view factor to space, how much heat can it reject from the system? (How much is this radiator radiating to space?). Use 3K for space temperature. Round answer up to one decimal place. No need to include units. (Remember that -/+ signs are used in respect to direction of energy transfer) h 37°F Cloudy HD GAN .1 m Radiator .3 m Q Search

QUESTION 7 ´ Flat-plate solar collectors are often tilted up toward the sun in order to intercept a greater amount of direct solar radiation, as shown in Figure Q2. The tilt angle from the horizontal also affects the rate of heat loss from the collector. Consider a 2 m (height) and 3 m (width) solar collector that is tilted at an angle 0 from the horizontal. The back side of the absorber is insulated. The absorber plate and the glass cover, which are spaced 2.0 cm from each other, are maintained at temperatures of 75°C and 35°C, respectively. Analyse the solar collector for different angle, 0 = 0°, 20°, and 90° to select which O gives the lowest rate of heat loss from the absorber plate by natural convection.
