Abstract

The unsteady one-dimensional temperature field inside the hot-water in a storage tank of a thermosyphonic solar collector is investigated analytically. As a result of the low constant rates of the inflowing hot-water into the storage vertical tank via its top, it is conceived that heat between adjacent layers of the stratified hot liquid in the tank is dominantly transferred by conduction. The linearity of the temperature profile along the depth of the tank for each flow situation is heavily controlled by the inflow velocity and other restraining variables as can be perceived from the solution of the flow governing physical equation.
