A simple solar heater consists of a flat plate of glass below which is located a shallow pan filled with water, so that the water is in contact with the glass plate above it. Solar radiation is passing through the glass at the rate of 490 W/m2. The water is at 92°C and the surrounding air is 27°C. If the heat transfer coefficients between the water and the glass and the glass and the air are 28 W/(m2 K), and 7 W/(m2 K), respectively, determine the time required to transfer 1.1 MJ/m2 of surface to the water in the pan. The lower surface of the pan may be assumed to be insulated.
GIVEN
• A simple solar heater: shallow pan of water below glass, the water touches the glass
• Solar radiation passing through glass (qr/A) = 490 W/m2
• Water temperature (Tw) = 92°C
• Surrounding air temperature (T?) = 27°C
• Heat transfer coefficients
? Between water and glass ( cw h ) = 28 W/(m2 K)
? Between glass and air ( ca h ) = 7 W/(m2 K)
FIND
• The time (t) required to transfer 1.1 MJ/m2 to the water
ASSUMPTIONS
• One dimensional, steady state heat transfer prevails
• The heat loss from the bottom of the pan is negligible
• The radiative loss from the top of the glass is negligible
• The thermal resistance of the glass is negligible
