“…Concentrating collectors exhibit certain advantages as compared with the non-concentrating collectors [1]. The most common system used in water heating system are the flat-plate, black-surface absorbers, which absorb solar energy through a solid surface [2]. The flat plate solar collector (FPC) has been built in a wide variety of designs with many different materials that are usually employed for low temperature applications up to 100°C [3].…”

“…The performance of solar collectors directly determines the efficiency of the solar thermal utilization systems. The flat-plate black-surface absorber is the most common type of solar collector that absorbs solar energy by a black surface and then transfers heat to a running fluid in tubes [3]. However, the absorber and the heat transfer fluid (HTF) exist thermal resistance, leading to a large temperature difference between the surface and the fluid and thus decreases the overall conversion efficiency of solar energy [4].…”

“…Among these energy sources, solar energy could be the best option due to several advantages, such as abundance, inexhaustibility, and cost savings [ 1 , 2 ]. In the most common solar thermal systems being used in various applications, known as the flat-plate black-surface absorbers, solar irradiation is absorbed through a solid surface [ 3 ] and converted into the thermal energy by a collector. That energy is then transferred from the collector heat exchanging devices or thermal storage tanks by circulating the working fluid in the collector’s structure.…”
