Computer Simulation of Flate Plate Solar Collectors
Abstract
The performance of a flat plate solar water heater is predicted by a computer model. This model divides the collector and storage tanks into a finite number of sections and considers an energy balance over each section. Simulation of an actual solar collector was achieved by tracking experimental data with calculated values. The correlation obtained in this simulation resulted in accurate modeling of solar water heater systems.
