Abstract
The efficiency of a flat plate solar collector with thick absorber is estimated. The heat energy equation is solved using the Fourier Series Expansion Technique. The Fourier’s law and heat balance equations are also considered. The absorber is made of different materials: Copper, Aluminum, Silicon Carbide and Mica respectively. Different physical and cooling conditions are also highlighted. The temperature of the working fluid (water) with different rate flows is computed along the local day time. A published formula that predicts the incident global solar irradiance is considered in the computations. Factors affecting the efficiency are revealed.
