Mohsen ahmed al ghandoor ismael al hinti thermal analysis of compact solar water heater under local climatic conditions international communications in heat and mass t ransfer 36. On the basis of the experimental observations optimized collector configuration can be determined and recommended. Perature for the given local climatic conditions and collector charac teristics. Extensive experimental studies on a compact solar water heater were carried out in order to evaluate the performance of the heater and determine the.

The authors developed a transient model to analyse the thermal performance of the integrated solar water heater with a corrugated absorber surface. Theoretical model the compact solar water heater consists of a galvanized steel tank. Al hinti thermal analysis of compact solar water heater under local climatic conditions international communications in heat and mass transfer. The input climatic variables are hourly values of solar radiation and ambient temperature for a typical day of toronto.

This paper makes references to the solar generation of thermal energy and its use for buildings and domestic water heating describing both different types of solar equipment and system and developing a mathematical model for energetical analysis of the solar heating systems. Through this study the factors that affect the performance of solar water heating system and thermal insulation capacity are analysed and the best design of the modified roof system is identified. The thermal performance of the systemwill be optimized for singleanddoubleglazingwithstoragetankdepthsof5 10 and15 cm.
