A solar collector design consists of several parallel tubes each enclosed concentrically in an outer tube that is transparent to solar radiation. The tubes are thin walled with the inner and outer cylinder diameters of of 0.10 and 0.15 m respectively. The annular space between the tubes is filled with air at atmospheric pressure. Under operating condition the inner and outer tube surface temperatures are 70°C and 30°C respectively.
(a) What is the convective heat loss per meter of tube length?
(b) If the emissivity of the outer surface of the inner tube is 0.2 and the outer cylinder
behaves as though it were a black body, estimate the radiation loss.
(c) Discuss design options for reducing the total heat loss.
