The absorber has a diameter of 60 mm, and the transparent envelope has an outer diameter of 90mm with a thickness of 4 mm, The collector is designed to heat a fluid entering the absorber at 155.2°C at a flow rate of 0.0537 kg/s. The fluid has Cp 26 ki/kg°C. The heat transfer coefficient inside the tube is 300 W/m2 -C and the overall loss 82 W/m2 °C (from Example 73.1). The tube is made of stainless steel (k = 16 W/m°C) with a wall thickness of 5 mm, & If the ambient temperature is 10°C, Calculate the useful gain and exit fluid temperature. coefficient is Question 1.
