Abstract

An experimental and numerical study is conducted to verify the applicability of a one dimensional heat flow model in a horizontal storage tank of a thermosyphon solar system equipped with an auxiliary heater. Measurements of temperature are conducted in the vertical, axial and radial directions to examine the temperature stratification in the tank. A maximum average temperature deviation of 3.6% is found throughout the tank.
