Effective transmittance for the collector at different azimuths and different orientations has been computed. This study gives an idea about collector performance at different orientations on a whole day basis.  相似文献

In this article, an experimental comparison between open sun and solar drying is done. The thermal performance of evacuated tube based solar dryer is investigated with drying characteristics of Phyllanthus Emblica (Anvla), Aloe Vera, Aegle Marmelos (Bel) and leaves of Azadirachta Indica (Neem), Aegle Marmelos (Bel) and Psidium Guajava (Guava). In this setup, an evacuated tube collector, shell and tube heat exchanger and drying chamber are used. It was found that the maximum temperature difference between hot air and ambient air is 35.4°C and maximum efficiency of the setup is calculated as 55%. The average drying rate of Phyllanthus Emblica (Anvla), Aloe Vera and Aegle Marmelos (Bel) is measured as 0.46?g/min, 0.44?g/min, and 0.39?g/min respectively which are higher than that of Open Sun Drying. The leaves of Azadirachta Indica (Neem), Aegle Marmelos (Bel) and Psidium Guajava (Guava) also get dried with faster rates of 0.18?g/min, 0.17?g/min, and 0.14?g/min respectively.  相似文献

The thermal performance of a glass evacuated tube solar collector is numerically and experimentally investigated. The solar collector considered in this paper consists of a two-layered glass tube and an absorber tube. Air is used as the working fluid. The length and diameter of this glass tube are 1200 and 37 mm, respectively. Four different shapes of absorber tubes are considered, and the performances of the solar collectors are studied to find the best shape of the absorber tube for the solar collector. Beam irradiation, diffuse irradiation, and shade due to adjacent tubes are taken into account for a collector model to obtain a realistic estimation. In addition, a single collector tube with only beam irradiation is studied as a simplified model, and the results of the simplified model are compared to those of the collector model to identify the difference between these two models. The performance of a solar collector is affected by the shape of the absorber, incidence angle of solar irradiation, and arrangement of collector tubes. The results obtained from the simplified model are very different from those from the collector model, which considered not only beam and diffuse irradiation but also shade due to adjacent tubes.  相似文献

A performance of an evacuated tubular collector (G.E. design) fixed at the focus of a compound parabolic concentrator is investigated. In the G.E. design, heat is transmitted to the circulating fluid inside a U-tube. The U-tube is in contact with the receiver only on a line along the length of the receiver. This results in a non-uniform temperature distribution on the receiver in the θ-direction. The effect of the non-uniform temperature distribution on the performance parameters of the collector, viz. overall heat loss coefficient, plate efficiency factor and heat removal factor, has been studied. The results are presented in the form of a graph.  相似文献

The thermal performance of a prototype solar cooker based on an evacuated tube solar collector with phase change material (PCM) storage unit is investigated. The design has separate parts for energy collection and cooking coupled by a PCM storage unit. Solar energy is stored in the PCM storage unit during sunshine hours and is utilized for cooking in late evening/night time. Commercial grade erythritol was used as a latent heat storage material. Noon and evening cooking experiments were conducted with different loads and loading times. Cooking experiments and PCM storage processes were carried out simultaneously. It was observed that noon cooking did not affect the evening cooking, and evening cooking using PCM heat storage was found to be faster than noon cooking. The cooker performance under a variety of operating and climatic conditions was studied at Mie, Japan.  相似文献

To performance comparative studies, two sets of water-in-glass evacuated tube solar water heater (SWH, in short) were constructed and tested. Both SWHs were identical in all aspects but had different collector tilt-angle from the horizon with the one inclined at 22° (SWH-22) and the other at 46° (SWH-46). Experimental results revealed that the collector tilt-angle of SWHs had no significant influence on the heat removal from solar tubes to the water storage tank, both systems had almost the same daily solar thermal conversion efficiency but different daily solar and heat gains, and climatic conditions had a negligible effect on the daily thermal efficiency of systems due to less heat loss of the collector to the ambient air. These findings indicated that, to maximize the annual heat gain of such solar water heaters, the collector should be inclined at a tilt-angle for maximizing its annual collection of solar radiation. Experiments also showed that, for the SWH-22, the cold water from the storage tank circulated down to the sealed end of tubes along the lower wall of tubes and then returned to the storage tank along the upper wall of solar tubes with a clear water circulation loop; whereas for the SWH-46, the situation in the morning was the same as the SWH-22, but in the afternoon, the cold water from the storage tank on the way to the sealed end was partially or fully mixed with the hot water returning to the storage tank without a clear water circulation loop, furthermore, such mixing became more intense with the increase in the inlet water temperature of solar tubes. This indicated that increasing the collector tilt-angle of SWHs had no positive effect on the thermosiphon circulation of the water inside tubes. No noticeable inactive region near the sealed end of solar tubes for both systems was observed in experiments.  相似文献

In this research a 3D numerical study on a PEM fuel cell model with tubular plates is presented. The study is focused on the performance evaluation of three flow fields with cylindrical geometry (serpentine, interdigitated and straight channels) in a fuel cell. These designs are proposed not only with the aim to reduce the pressure losses that conventional designs exhibit with rectangular flow fields but also to improve the mass transport processes that take place in the fuel cell cathode. A commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code was used to solve the numerical model. From the numerical solution of the fluid mechanics equations and the electrochemical model of Butler-Volmer different analysis of pressure losses, species concentration, current density, temperature and ionic conductivity were carried out. The results were obtained at the flow channels and the catalyst layers as well as in the gas diffusion layers and the membrane interfaces. Numerical results showed that cylindrical channel configurations reduced the pressure losses in the cell due to the gradual reduction of the angle at the flow path and the twist of the channel, thus facilitating the expulsion of liquid water from the gas diffusion layers and in turn promoting a high oxygen concentration at the triple phase boundary of the catalyst layers. Moreover, numerical results were compared to polarization curves and the literature data reported for similar designs. These results demonstrated that conventional flow field designs applied to conventional tubular plates have some advantages over the rectangular designs, such as uniform pressure and current density distributions among others, therefore they could be considered for fuel cell designs in portable applications.  相似文献

A rigorous theoretical approach of a flat-plate solar collector with a black absorber considering the glass cover as an absorbing–emitting media is presented. The glass material is analyzed as a non-gray plane-parallel medium subjected to solar and thermal irradiations in one-dimensional case using the Radiation Element Method by Ray Emission Model (REM2). The optical constants of a clear glass window proposed by Rubin have been used. These optical constants, 160 values of real part n and imaginary part k of the complex refractive index of a clear glass, cover the range of interest for calculating the solar and thermal radiative transfer through the glass cover. The computational time for predicting the thermal behavior of solar collector was found to be prohibitively long for the non-gray calculation using 160 values of n and k. Therefore a suitable semi-gray model is proposed for rapid calculation. The profile of the efficiency curve obtained in the present study was found to be not linear in shape. Indeed, the heat loss from the collector is a combination of convection and radiation and highly non linear. The effect of the outside convective heat transfer on the efficiency curve is also studied. In fact, when the convection is the dominant heat transfer mode compared with the radiation one, the profile of the efficiency curve is more or less straight line. Consequently, the heat loss coefficient could be calculated using Klein model. It has been also shown that the effect of the wind speed on the glass cover mean temperature is very important. This effect increases with the increase of the mean absorber temperature.  相似文献

Accurate modeling of solar collector system using a rigorous radiative model is applied for the glass cover which represents the most important component of the system and greatly affects the thermal performance. The glass material is analyzed as a non-gray plane-parallel medium subjected to solar and thermal irradiations in one dimensional case using the radiation element method by ray emission model (REM2). The optical constants of a clear and low-iron glass materials proposed by Rubin have been used. These optical constants, 160 values of real part n and imaginary part k of the complex refractive index of such materials, cover the range of interest for calculating the solar and thermal radiative transfer through the glass cover. The computational times for predicting the thermal behavior of solar collector were found to be prohibitively long for the non-gray calculation using 160 values of n and k for both glasses. Therefore, suitable semi-gray models have been proposed for rapid calculation. The temperature distribution within the glass cover shows a good agreement with that obtained with iterative method in case of clear glass. It has been shown that the effect of the non-linearity of the radiative heat exchange between the black plate absorber and the surroundings on the shape of the efficiency curve is important. Indeed, the thermal loss coefficient is not constant but is a function of temperature, due primarily to the radiative transfer effects. Therefore, when the heat exchange by radiation is dominant compared with the convective mode, the profile of the efficiency curve is not linear. It has been also shown that the instantaneous efficiency of the solar collector is higher in case of low-iron glass cover.  相似文献

Phase change materials (PCMs) have good properties such as high thermal capacity and constant phase change temperature. Their potential use in solar energy storage is promising. Tests of exposure and constant flow rate are performed to investigate the thermal performance of a domestic solar water heater with solar collector coupled phase-change energy storage (DSWHSCPHES). Due to the low thermal conductivity and high viscosity of PCM, heat transfer in the PCM module is repressed. The thermal performance of the DSWHSCPHES under exposure is inferior to that of traditional water-in-glass evacuated tube solar water heaters (TWGETSWH) with an identical collector area. DSWHSCPHES also performs more efficiently with a constant flow rate than under the condition of exposure. Radiation and initial water temperature have impacts on system performance; with the increase of proportion of diffuse to global radiation and/or initial water temperature, system performance deteriorates and vice versa.  相似文献
