Solar Thermal Water Heating for Domestic or Industrial Application (New Trend Modeling)

Abstract

This paper presents a modeling of Solar Water Heating ( SWH ) used fordomestic or industrial application using Flat – Plate Collectors.The research uses a new trend of application for Solar Radiation variation duringthe day, The model is a ( Half – Sine ) Model for clear day with some assumptionsto predict the temperature fluctuation in the Storage tank and to calculate theheating energy demand to be added to the Solar energy supplied by Sun.An encouraging result has been found that will help the designer to have a goodidea and give useful indication about the system proposal to make a propereconomic analysis of any projects.
