Question: 4 - 3 0 ) Consider a flat - plate collector with the following specifications. Collector area A = 2 . 2 m ^ 2

4-30) Consider a flat-plate collector with the following specifications.
Collector area A =2.2m^2
Heat loss Coefficient U =2.8 W/(m^2)
Flow rate of water into tubes m _w=0.020 kg/s
Water inlet temperature T_(w,in)=75=348.15K
Product of transmissivity of glazing and absorptivity of the absorbed \tau \alpha =0.84
The collector efficiency factor F =0.83
Incident angle modifier is taken to be 1
Average Hourly Data for ambient temperature and solar heat flux incident in a July day @ 40 degrees latitude are (Attached Photo)
a) calculate the collector heat flux incident removal factor
b) for each hour, calculate the useful heat gain, the collector efficiency, and temperature of water at the collector exit
c) Calculate the total useful heat gain and the overall collector efficiency for the entire day.
