Solar radiation is incident on the glass cover of a solar collector at a rate of 700W/m². The glass of collector absorbs 88 percent of the incident radiation on it and has an emissivity of 0.9. The entire hot water needs of a family can be provided by a single collector of 1.2m height and 2m width. The temperature of the glass cover of the collector is measured to be 35C° on a day when the surrounding air temperature is 25C° and the wind is blowing at 30km/h. The effective sky temperature for radiation exchange between the glass cover and the open sky is -40C°. Water enters the tubes which attached to the absorber plate at a rate of 1kg/min. Assuming the back surface of the absorber plate to be heavily insulated and the only heat loss to occur through the glass cover, determine (a) the total rate of heat loss from the collector, (b) the collector efficiency, which is the ratio of the amount of heat transferred to the water to the solar energy incident on the collector, and (c) the temperature rise of water as it flows through the collector.

Question 4:Consider a person standing in a room maintained at20°C at all times. The inner surfaces of the walls, floors, and ceiling of the house are observed to be at an average temperature of 12°C in winter and 23°C in summer. Determine threats of radiation heat transfer between this person and the surrounding surfaces in both summer and winter if the exposed surface area, emissivity, and the average outer surface temperature of the person are 1.6 m2, 0.95, and 32°C, respectively.
Consider a 0.6-m × 0.6-m thin square plate in a room at 30°C. Both sides of the plate are maintained at a temperature of 90°C. Determine the rate of heat transfer from the plate by natural convection if the plate is (a) vertical and (b) horizontal. (c) If the plate surface with an emissivity of ε= 0.6, also loses heat by radiation to the room walls at 30°C, can radiation loss be neglected?
