Analytical Solution steps For a flat plate solar collector, with water as the working fluid, consider a design for heating water from 22°C to 60°C. The temperature of the air and the surroundings is 310 K. The system is designed for a flow rate of 0.03 gpm. The water exhibits fully developed, laminar flow in a 0.05 diameter pipe, with a constant surface flux. The collector plate experiences losses due to convection and radiation, which can be accounted for using...
