Abstract

A new evacuated tubular solar collector has been selected for further investigation for the application of Goldstone energy conservation projects. This article presents briefly the exact heat transfer analysis of this two-pass-flow collector in an effort to determine the difference in performance characteristics with two different flow patterns. The results from this analysis are not only the determination of the collected heat rate and the temperature profiles at each cross section but also the prediction of the maximum attainable fluid temperature at zero flow rate in both cases.
