Solar thermal water heating for domestic or industrial application : (new trend modeling)‎

Abstract EN

This paper presents a modeling of Solar Water Heating (SWH) used for domestic or industrial application using Flat – Plate Collectors.

The research uses a new trend of application for Solar Radiation variation during the day, The model is a ( Half – Sine ) Model for clear day with some assumptions to predict the temperature fluctuation in the Storage tank and to calculate the heating energy demand to be added to the Solar energy supplied by Sun.

An encouraging result has been found that will help the designer to have a good idea and give useful indication about the system proposal to make a proper economic analysis of any projects.
