Theoretical Model of a Flat Plate Solar Collector Integrated with Phase Change Material
Abstract—The objective of this work was to develop a theoretical model to study the dynamic thermal behavior of a flat plate solar collector integrated with a phase change material (PCM). The PCM acted as a heat source for the solar system during low intensity solar radiation and night. The energy balance equations for the various components of the collector as well as for the PCM were formulat...
متن کاملModeling of Flat-Plate Solar Collector Operation in Transient States
Saleh, Ahmad M. M.S.E., Purdue University, May 2012. Modeling Of Flat-Plate Solar Collector Operation in Transient States. Major Professor: Hosni Abu-Mulaweh. Solar energy is becoming an alternative for the limited fossil fuel resources. One of the simplest and most direct applications of this energy is the conversion of solar radiation into heat, which can be used in water heating systems. A c...
متن کاملEnergy, economic and environmental analysis of metal oxides nanofluid for flat-plate solar collector
For a solar thermal system, increasing the heat transfer area can increase the output temperature of the system. However, this approach leads to a bigger and bulkier collector. It will then increase the cost and energy needed to manufacture the solar collector. This study is carried out to estimate the potential to design a smaller solar collector that can produce the same desired output temper...
متن کاملTwo-Phase Nanofluid Thermal Analysis over a Stretching Infinite Solar Plate Using Keller Box Method (KBM)
In the present study, two-phase nanofluid flow in a three-dimensional system is modeled over a stretching infinite solar plate and the heat transfer analysis is performed for this problem. The governing equations are presented based on previous studies and the suitable solution method is recommended due to infinite boundary condition in the problem. Keller Box Method (KBM) using the Maple 1...
