Abstract

This paper presents a simplified transient analysis of a forced-circulation solar water heating system with a heat exchanger in the collector loop. Besides two modes of hot water withdrawal viz constant flow and constant collection temperature; the paper also studies the effectiveness of the flow through the heat exchanger and its length. The system performance has been further studied by considering different timings of starting hot water withdrawal. Calculations have been made for a typical cold day (26 January 1980) in New Delhi.
