Consider two flat-plate collectors with different specifications. The transmissivity, absorptivity, and overall heat transfer coefficient parameters for the single glazing are given as 0.9,0.9, and 12W/m2?C, whereas the same parameters for the double glazing are calculated as 0.88,0.88, and 8W/m2?C, respectively. The heat removal factor for both collectors is 0.96 , the solar insulation is considered 800W/m2, and the ambient temperature is 25?C. Accordingly, find the following parameters given as: a) The collector efficiency if the water enters the collector at 60?C b) The temperature of the water at which the collector efficiency is zerc c) The maximum collector efficiency considering the incident angle modifier as 1
