Abstract
The experimental set up for evaluating the performance of a solar collector with a fluid undergoing phase change is described. The effect of insolation and the liquid level on the collector performance has been studied with acetone and petroleum ether 40–60°C. The Hottel-Whillier equation, when modified to include the fraction of liquid level, correlates the experimental data. The collector efficiency increases linearly with liquid level.
