MODELING A V-TROUGH COLLECTOR IN TERMS OF ZERO, SINGLE OR MULTIPLE THERMAL CAPACITANCE NODES

摘要: Previously a mathematical model for the thermal performance was developed V-trough collector. Essentially, it an application to this configuration of H-B-W zero capacitance node model. In present paper analysis is extended take into account effects capacitance. The collector involved formed linear array V-troughs, non-concentrating in nature and heats stream air going through channels above blackened heat-absorbing plate below transparent cover. Direct comparisonsis made results calculations between version which includes effects. each case identical sets time-changing inputs are used. method study by digital simulation collector's overall performance.
