At a certain location (2547'N,7539'E) in India, an unshaded pyranometer (kept
on a horizontal surface) and a pyrheliometer record 695 and 721Wm2 respectively
at 1000 h (IST) on September 15. A flat-plate collector is installed with a tilt of
13 and is oriented east of south at an angle of 35. Calculate the flux incident on
the collector. Given that the reflectivity of the surfaces surrounding the collector is
0.2.
What is the percentage reduction in the value of the flux incident on the collector
due to the presence of the atmosphere?
