Find altitude and azimuth angles at 2:15 solar time on 21st of April for the location (S0°N, 65°E), For the same day, time and location find also incident angle on a solar collector tilted 45° above horizon and the exposure time of that surface. 6. Calculate the total irradiance incident on a surface tilted at 30°C above horizon at 2:15 p.m. local time on the 2st of March for the position (34°N, 42°E). Assume that the ground reflectivity is 0.33. (For March: A=1186, B=0.156, C=0.071) A flat-plate solar collector operates with a mean plate temperature of 50°C when the ambient temperature is 10°C. Find the top heat loss coefficient if the convection heat transfer coefficient in the air gap is 3 W/ (m2°C) and the speed of the wind is 5 m/s. ‘Take the absorber plate and glass cover emissivity’s to be 0.3 and 0.8 respectively. x 8. A solar water heater has a tank containing 100 kg of water initially at 20°C. Water from a flat plate solar collector enters the tank at 40°C at a rate of 0.03 kg/s. Ifthe tank is equipped with auxiliary heater of 2000 W power, then find the tank temperature after one hour of operation with and without actuating the auxiliary heater. Neglect any losses from the tank whether to the environment or by the water withdrawal and take the value of specific heat of the working fluid and tank to be 4180 J/(kg°C). What ‘would be the tank temperature after the same period if water is withdrawn during the second 15 minutes of the hour at a rate of 0.05 ke/s with a make-up water of 10°C and the electric heater is turned ON?
