Performance Analysis on Solar Flat Plate Collector with Reducing Energy Wastage Using Optimal Geometry Application

Abstract

Energy crises are the biggest problem in front of the world nowadays. There are many ways of energy wastage in the form of heat in heat transfer in Solar Flat Plate collectors. The main objective is to utilize solar energy more efficiently. An experimental investigation of heat transfers in solar flat plate riser’s tubes was done by changing various parameters like Flow rate, geometry, the pattern of fluid flow as well as the tilt angle of flat plate collectors. For the Experimental simulation purpose PRO-E, AUTOCAD, and Fluent tools are used. The experimental theoretical and simulation result is compared with the Existing Flat Plate collector of the solar water heater. After the comparison found that the Zigzag flow pattern is better performance than the Solar conventional water heater. The density of flat plate collector is less as compared to conventional hence it’s cost-effective also.
