Performance of Evacuated Tube Solar Collector Using Water-based Titanium Oxide Nanofluid
Experiments are undertaken to determine the efficiency of an evacuated tube solar collector using water-based Titanium Oxide (TiO2) nanofluid at the Pekan Campus (3 ̊32’ N, 103 ̊25’ E), Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, University Malaysia Pahang, for the conversion of solar thermal energy. Malaysia lies in the equatorial zone with an average daily solar insolation of more than 900 W/m2, which c...
متن کاملExperimental Study on an Enhanced Performance Solar Water Heater
The paper presents preliminary results of an experimental study on solar water heater with full width and 75% twisted tapes as heat transfer enhancement device. The study shows that the thermal efficiency due the use of the twisted tape increases by 4.5-8%; higher for the 75% twisted tape. Keyword Solar water heater (collector), tube-in-fin, twisted tape, thermal efficiency, performance enhance...
متن کاملComparative Experimental Analysis of the Thermal Performance of Evacuated Tube Solar Water Heater Systems With and Without a Mini-Compound Parabolic Concentrating (CPC) Reflector(C < 1)
Evacuated tube solar water heater systems are widely used in China due to their high thermal efficiency, simple construction requirements, and low manufacturing costs. CPC evacuated tube solar water heaters with a geometrical concentration ratio C of less than one are rare. A comparison of the experimental rig of evacuated tube solar water heater systems with and without a mini-CPC reflector wa...
متن کاملPerformance Analysis of Modified Solar Water Heating System for Climatic Condition of Allahabad, India
Abstract—Solar water heating is a thermodynamic process of heating water using sunlight with the help of solar water heater. Thus, solar water heater is a device used to harness solar energy. In this paper, a modified solar water heating system (MSWHS) has been proposed over flat plate collector (FPC) and Evacuated tube collector (ETC). The modifications include selection of materials other tha...
متن کاملExtreme learning machine: a new alternative for measuring heat collection rate and heat loss coefficient of water-in-glass evacuated tube solar water heaters
BACKGROUND Heat collection rate and heat loss coefficient are crucial indicators for the evaluation of in service water-in-glass evacuated tube solar water heaters. However, the direct determination requires complex detection devices and a series of standard experiments, wasting too much time and manpower. FINDINGS To address this problem, we previously used artificial neural networks and sup...
