Can you please solve these tasks step by step ??? a) A solar heating system produces hot water for a family house . Derive a mathematical model which estimates the heat flux (per collector area) to water that flows in the flat absorber plates in a vacuum collector with a single glass, for a given incident radiation flux, qs. b) Implement the model as a computer program and apply it to the data in Table 1 to estimate the recovered heat during the two days reported. The collector surface area is 5 m2 and 0.25 kg/s water is fed to the system at 50C. c) How is the heat flow to the water affected if the feed water temperature is raised to 60C? In the modeling the following simplifying assumptions can be made: The incident short-wavelength radiation is mainly transmitted through the glass (=0.85,=0.1) while the background radiation from the sky as well as the radiation emitted and reflected by the absorber plate is not transmitted through the glass (=0,=0.95). For the absorber plate =0,=0.15. The convective heat transfer coefficient is conv =10 W/(m2K). The collector is large enough to make it justified to neglect end effects and there are negligible heat losses from the collector bottom The thermal resistance between the absorber plate and the water may be neglected.
