Abstract
The transient thermal behaviour of wickless heat pipe flat plate solar collectors has been analyzed with regard to various parameters. These parameters include global solar radiation intensity, inlet cooling water temperature, absorber plate material and thickness, ratio of pitch distance to wickless heat pipe diameter and ratio of condenser section length to total wickless heat pipe length. The results show that the selection of an absorber plate having a high value of conduction heat transfer rate per unit temperature difference is limited by the pitch distance.
