Question: Tutorial 1 : Calculate the loss coefficient U L for 1 meter long cylindrical receiver of parabolic trough collector of 6 0 - m m

Tutorial 1: Calculate the loss coefficient UL for 1 meter long cylindrical receiver of parabolic trough collector of 60-mm at 200C. The absorber surface has an emittance of r=0.31. The absorber is covered by a glass tubular cover 90 mm in outer diameter and 4 mm thick and has transmissivity of 0.88. The space between the absorber and cover is evacuated. The wind speed is 5ms and the sky and air temperatures are 2 and 10C, respectively.
Take air properties at an average temperature 286.5K,=1.232kgm3,=1.79410-5,k=0.2046Wm.K
