Dynamic Simulation and Optimization of Flat Plate Solar Collector Parameters Using the MATLAB Program for Erbil-Iraq Climate Condition

This research aims to investigate the performance solar water collector by varing five parameters; which are mass flowrate, inclination angle, total radiation, pipe size, and number of glass covers. The test rig was established collect data for whole months September October use it as a focal point analysis heating system's performance. dynamic behavior simulated optimizated with MATLAB software practical flat plate collector. novelity in this study is first time authors instead using an average approximate theoretical investigation achievements follows: increase efficiency from 62.17% 71.26% when spacing reduced 186 mm 86 mm; approximately 2% pipeline diameter grew 1 50 optimum achieved triple glazing about 0.83%; flowrate from; 5 liters per minute, would improve system 64% 83%. Moreover, best tilt angle 30°.Also, heat loss coefficient rises around 50% wind speed increased m/s m/s. Thus, actual will assist researcher improving
