Analytical Solution steps

For a flat plate solar collector, with water as the workingfluid, consider a design for heating water from 22°C to 60°C. Thetemperature of the air and the surroundings is 310 K. The system isdesigned for a flow rate of 0.03 gpm. The water exhibits fullydeveloped, laminar flow in a 0.05 diameter pipe, with a constantsurface flux. The collector plate experiences losses due toconvection and radiation, which can be accounted for using a totalheat transfer coefficient of 0.02 kW/m2 K. Use a solar resource mapto find the annual, average incident solar radiation, G, forDallas, TX. Assume a black nickel oxide plated metal surface forthe collector. Use a heat removal factor of 0.95

Determine the required size of the solar collector.
