Chapter 13, Problem 13.114(choose chapter or problem)
A flat-plate solar collector, consisting of an absorberplate and single cover plate, is inclined at an angle of??60?relative to the horizontal. Consider conditions for which the incident solar radi-ation is collimated at an angle of 60?relative to thehorizontal and the solar flux is 900 W/m2. The coverplate is perfectly transparent to solar radiation (3m) and is opaque to radiation of larger wave-lengths. The cover and absorber plates are diffusesurfaces having the spectral absorptivities shown.The length and width of the absorber and cover platesare much larger than the plate spacing L. What is therate at which solar radiation is absorbed per unit area ofthe absorber plate? With the absorber plate well insu-lated from below and absorber and cover plate temper-atures Taand Tcof 70?C and 27?C, respectively, what isthe heat loss per unit area of the absorber plate
