A flat plate solar collector of 3 m ? 5 m area has an absorber plate that is to operate at a temperature of 70°C. To reduce heat losses, a glass cover is placed 0.05 m from the absorber. Its operating temperature is estimated to be 35°C. Determine the rate of heat loss from the absorber if the 3 m edge is tilted at angles of inclination from the horizontal of 0°, 30°, and 60°.

GIVEN
• A flat plate solar collector
• Area = 3 m × 5 m
• Absorber temperature (Ta) = 70°C
• Glass cover temperature (Tc) = 30°C

FIND
Heat loss by natural convection from the absorber of angles (?) of (a) 0°, (b) 30°, and (c) 60° from the horizontal
ASSUMPTIONS
• The space is air filled
