Experimental determination for optimal position of reflector in solar water heater

Kumar Gaurav,
Suresh Kant Verma

Abstract: An experimental investigation was carried out on novel solar water heater that utilizes a flat reflector positioned underneath the absorber tubes. Experiments were conducted at National Institute of Technology Patna, India, having latitude 25.61°N and longitude 85.14°E and constant insolation of 1000 W⁄m^2 . The experimental data were collected for different reflector positions i.e. δ = 0 mm, 15 mm, 30 mm, 45 mm, and 60 mm and six mass flow rates of working fluid i.e. 0.0056 kg/s, 0.0097 kg/s, 0.0138 kg/s, 0.0… Show more

“…The system operates at temperatures exceeding 673.15 K. The performance of the PTC system is influenced by factors such as internal heat gain characteristics, surface heat loss, fluid velocity, concentration ratio, and thermophysical properties of the working fluid [4]. The key components of a PTC include the reflector surface, absorber tube, tracking system, and support structure [5,6]. The working fluid is directed into the absorber tube and heated through convection.…”
