Sensitivity Analysis of the Test Parameters of a Solar Flat Plate Collector for Performance Studies
نویسندگان
چکیده
The BIS test procedure for performance of solar flat plate collectors allows a certain limit of deviation for the control parameters to define the steady state condition. During actual performance studies, sometimes these limits are exceeded. In this paper an attempt has been made to find out the effect on the performance curve of the collector as a result of exceeding this prescribed limit by a certain small amount. Regression analysis has been used to study the sensitivity of the collector design to the response parameters. It has been concluded that a variation in the range ±0.01 to ±0.04 over and above the prescribed deviation does not significantly affect the response parameters (i.e, thermal efficiency, FRUL and FR(ζα)).

متن کاملThe Possibility of using Flat Plate Solar Collector Based on the Best Calculated Tilt Angle in the City of Rasht as a Case Study (TECHNICAL NOTE)
The possibility of using flat plate collector in northern parts of Iran specially city of Rasht has been investigated in this paper. According to the high humidity in the northern parts of this country, diffuse radiation plays a more important role than direct radiation. This fact can change the results of delivered solar energy and the best tilt angle of the collector compared to the sunny cen...
