Flat Plate Solar Collector

An isothermal one-dimensional flow model is used to calculate the flow distribution across the manifold of a flat plate solar collector in order to quantify the effect of a non-uniform flow distribution on the thermal efficiency for a variety of manifold geometries. The predictions of this flow model are found to compare favourably with measured isothermal flow distributions.

A simplified method of using four-hole probes to measure three-dimensional flow-fields is presented. This method is similar to an existing calibration and application procedure used for five-hole probes. The new method is demonstrated for two four-hole probes of different geometry. These four-hole probes and a five-hole probe are used to measure the turbulent boundary layer on a flat plate. The results from the three probes are in good agreement with theoretical predictions. The major discrepancies occur near the surface of the flat plate and are attributed to wall vicinity and velocity gradient effects.
