Study of the Influence of External Parameters on Thermal Performance of a Solar Water Collector

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to show the effect of external parameters: albedo and wind speed) on a solar collector inclined plane. The method used consists in cutting the collector into fictitious slices (05 meshes) of length Δx in the direction of the flow of the heat transfer fluid and writing the balance sheets of the exchanges which intervene at the levels of the 06 nodes: from the outside of the glass, the inside of the glass, the absorber, in the peddler fluid as well as the inside and the outside of the insulation. It is convenient for this to use the analogies that exist between the transfer of heat and electricity, the results obtained are the temperatures at the nodes.
