A 2 x 2 m flat plate solar collector for domestic hot water heating is shown in the figure. The incident solar radiation on the glass cover, which transmits 90% of the incident flux, is 750 W/m2. Water flows through the tubes soldered to the backside of the absorber plate, entering at a temperature of 25°C. The temperature of the glass cover is 27°C, and it radiates heat with an emissivity of 0.92 to the sky at –50°C. Additionally, the glass cover losses heat by convection to air at 20°C flowing over its surface at 30 km/h. Assume that the radiation heat transfer between the absorber plate and glass cover and the heat transfer through the back and sides of the collector is negligible.
Suppose you are concerned about a tall thin tree located 10
m from a proposed PV site. You do notice that the tree casts a
1 m shadow directly toward your site at solar noon on May
22th. The sun path diagram is given in the chart below.
