Abstract:This work presented the numerical and experimental study of the thermal performance of a flat plate collector (FPC). This study focuses on analyzing the performance of (FPC) in the climatic conditions of Najaf and calculating the thermal energy produced by the collector for domestic use, which reduces the electricity consumption that Iraq is witnessing a severe shortage in its supply. Also, various working fluids (water, oil engine, ethylene glycol-water mixture) were tested to determine the best working fluid… Show more
