Abstract
Solar energy is radiant light as a form of thermal heat energy which can be obtained and used by means of a variety of solar apparatus. As apparatus the flat and curved plate solar collector is specifically designed for assembling solar energy as a solar water heater system. The designing potency of this collector lone can generate medium level hot water from radiant sunlight source via absorbed plates. Standard type flat and curved plates solar collector plates are mostly used in remote coldest regions of the world where hot water is consumed for commercial and domestic purposes. These types of solar collector Plates can cheaply be manufactured compared to other solar panels like solar Shingles, Polycrystalline Solar Panels, Mono-crystalline Solar Panels, and Thin Film Solar Panels. For future work, this proposed pre-design is recommended for fabrication. A numerical study was carried-out on eight city locations in China by tracing their horizontal and vertical longitudinal, latitudinal lines noting the date, time and sunlight feeding of temperatures in the Celsius scale with the help of simulation and modeling tools like CFD, ANSYS FLUENT software, mesh geometry tools, and by using the Navier-Stokes and Continuity equations by fluid flow discharge rate, mass flow, water temperature and dropping of temperature, radiation working mechanisms, dimensions of water flowing tubes and absorber plates, density, the velocity of water as the working fluid, the viscosity of water in a cold and hot state as a process of Pre-design. Work also focuses on the comparison between flat plate collector and curved plate collector radiant sunlight absorption, As end result it is found the Curved plate collector produces 22% more elevated heat of outgoing water than flat plate collector.
Highlights
Due to increased worldwide demand for energy, there is a need to go for emission lessening type of renewable energy for power generations and other purposes
Eight cities of China were selected to investigate the performance of Solar Flat Plate Collector (SFPC) and Solar Curved Plate Collector (SCPC)
The analysis was conducted with 3 different flow-rates 0.005 kilogram /second, 0.010 Kilogram/second and 0.015 kilogram/second
Summary
Due to increased worldwide demand for energy, there is a need to go for emission lessening type of renewable energy for power generations and other purposes. Out of the number of renewable energies the solar energy is comparatively cheaper and naturally available in abundance in many areas around the World. In order to stop environment impairment there is a need to reduce the use of fossil fuels [5] Worldwide research in this area reveals that the high percentage of fossil fuels combustion disbalances clean eco-system by receiving contaminated emissions like carbon dioxide and number of other contaminated air pollutants. These pollutants contaminant the clean environment and cause depletion of clean air quality of our planet. Pre-fabrication of solar plates designing is successfully done by applying CFD and other software tools for fabrication of the mild Steel considered for the absorber Plate [15]
