Honeycomb devices in flat-plate solar collectors
Solar Energy, 1965Abstract The results are presented of a theoretical study on the performance of a flat-plate type solar collector in which a selectively transmitting honeycomb panel is mounted between the absorbing flat plate and the outer glass cover. An analytic study of the natural convection process in such panels has shown that, under certain conditions ...

Dual functioning flat plate thermal solar collector
Energy Conversion and Management, 1980Abstract The purpose of this paper is to investigate the cost effectiveness of a self-constructed and installed flat plate solar energy collector. The report analyzes the theoretical energy output of the solar collector, the experimental measured energy output and the theoretical insulation properties of the collector as constructed and installed ...

Recent investigations in solar flat plate collectors
2015 International Conference on Technologies for Sustainable Development (ICTSD), 2015This work provides the report on the design developments and investigations carried out in the past few years for upgrading solar collectors, which are used for effectively converting heat in the form of solar radiation into useful (Thermal) energy. It focuses on modifications in construction materials, geometry and other miscellaneous things that have

THE INVERTED TRICKLE FLAT PLATE SOLAR COLLECTOR
International Journal of Solar Energy, 1993A new method, called the inverted water trickle method is developed for use in flat-plate collectors. This method basically depends on passing the heal transfer liquid on the back of the absorber plate. The liquid is kept attached to the plate by means of wire screen welded to it. Surface tension forces between the absorber-wire screen combined surface

Parametric study of flat plate solar collectors
Energy Conversion, 1976Abstract An analytical program, suitable for use on a digital computer is developed for the purpose of studying the hourly behavior of a flat plate solar collector. The influence of a large variety of collector parameters over the period of a year are shown in the plotted results.

Planar concentrators for flat-plate solar collectors
Solar Energy, 1981Abstract A systematic study has been made of the effectiveness of planar specular reflectors for solar energy collectors. Two daily averaged indices of performance were used. One, the area ratio, indicates the amount by which the reflector extends the effective receiver area.

Optimization of Stationary Flat-Plate Solar Collectors
Volume 6B: Energy, 2015The optimum design of stationary flat-plate solar collectors is considered using the game theory approach for multiple objectives. The clear day solar beam radiation and diffuse radiation at the location of the solar collector are estimated. Three objectives are considered in the optimization problem formulation: maximization of the annual average ...

Identification of a Flat-Plate Solar Collector
IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 1979Abstract A flat-plate solar collector, an essential component of most thermal solar energy systems, is inherently exposed to variable weather conditions. Hence its dynamics may be important. to the design and control. A distributed dynamic model of the collector has been verified experimentally using orthogonal binary multifrequency test signals and
