1. A glass plate is used as a cover in a flat plate solar collector. The transmissivity of glass is zero in the entire wavelength except in the band of 0.4 < a <3.0 um, where the value is 0.8. Assuming the sun to be black body at a temperature 5800 K, determine the average hemispherical transmissivity of glass over the entire wavelength range.
A flat-plate solar collector is used to heat atmospheric air flowing through a rectangular channel. The bottom surface of the channel is well insulated, while the top surface is subjected to a uniform heat flux 96,which is due to the net effect of solar radiation absorption and heat exchange between the absorber and cover plates.

Determine the overall heat transfer coefficient (UL) for a Flat Plate Solar Collector inclined at 45 degrees to the horizontal and facing south. The average ambient temperature for the day is 20 degrees C and the observed glass and absorber plate temperatures are 45 degrees C and 69 degrees C respectively. The system is provided with 6 cm thick insulation (glass wool, k = 0.04 W/m degrees C) at the bottom. The air space between the absorber plate and glass...
The interior surface of an oven of internal dimensions 1mx1mx1m has an emissivity of 0.8, and is maintained at a uniform temperature of 500 K. The oven is placed in a very large room where the ambient temperature is 300K. On the front wall of the oven is a square opening of dimensions 100mmx 100mm. To reduce the heat loss through the opening, a thin metallic plate is used to cover the opening. The emissivity of the cover plate surface...

Solar radiation is incident on a flat-plate collector at a rate of 450 W/m^2. The product of transmissivity and absorptivity if 0.85, and the heat loss coefficient of the collector is 4/5 W/m^2 C. The ambient air temp is 10 C. The collector temperature at which the collector efficiency is zero is (A.) 95 C (B) 104 C (C) 112C (D) 87C (e) 73C
An unglazed flat plate solar water heater is orientated perpendicular to the sun such that the incident radiation reaching the plate is 1100 W/m2. The plate has a semi selective coating such that the plate absorptivity and emissivity is equal to unity for all wavelengths up to 2µm, and 0.13 for all λ > 2µm. Coolant flowing in the collector tubes removes heat at such a rate as to maintain the plate temperature at 80°C. Considering the sun to be...

Example 1: Design of a Solar Heater (Black bodies: no convection) A square flat plate collector is exposed to solar radiation from both the sides. The exposed surface of the plate has an absorptivity of 1.0 for solar radiation. On a clear summer day on the earth's surface the solar radiation flux is approximately 1140 W/m2 and the surrounding air temperature is 25oC. Determine the surface temperature?...
A solar collector consists of a flat plate that absorbs the heat of sunlight. A water pipe attached to the back of the plate carries away the absorbed heat. Assume that the solar collector has an area of 4.9 m2 facing the Sun and that the power per unit area delivered by sunlight is 1000 W/m2. What is the rate at which water must circulate through the pipe if the temperature of the water is to increase by 31 C as...
