Question: QUESTION 2 2 . 1 The storage size V s t o r a g e for domestic hot water is twice the total requirements

QUESTION 2
2.1 The storage size Vstorage for domestic hot water is twice the total requirements of persons (P) with a daily requirement Vperson per person.
Based on the hot water requirement Qperson per person per day, for a four-person household with an average consumption of 45 litres or 1.8 kWh of hot water per day,
(a) calculate the storage size Vstorage in litres
(b) the annual hot water requirement Qhw in kWh
(c) If the annual solar radiation is Hsolar=1000kWhm2, annual solar fraction sf=0.9, tilt gains forientation=110% and collector efficiency is c=30%, using the relationship below, calculate the collector size
Ac=sfQhwcHsolarforientation
(d) If the effective area of this solar panel in 2.1(c) is 0.8m2? piece, estimate the number of pieces of solar panel that should be installed to collect this heat demand.
2.2(a) If this family with 4 members plans to install a solar water heater which is mainly used for bath and the hot-water temperature required for bath is 50C, while the annual average temperature of cold water is 23C, estimate the heat that should be provided by the solar water heater to satisfy the family's demand for bath.

(b) If there is a certain solar panel with effective area of 0.8m2? piece which can offer a heat supply of 7200kJm2 in a day, estimate the required installation area of the solar panel and the number of pieces needed.
