Consider an air solar collector that is 1 m wide and 5 m long and has a constant spacing of 3 cm between the glass cover and the collector plate. Air flows at an average temperature of 45?C at a rate of 0.15 m³/s through the 1-m-wide edge of the collector along the 5-m-long passageway. Disregarding the entrance and roughness effects and the 90? bend, determine the pressure drop in the collector.
