Summary: | Abstract
The heat transfer performance of a flat plate solar water heating system was investigated experimentally in this paper (FPSWHS). The main objective of this investigation is to analyze the behaviour of FPSWHS with a 1.5 m

receiver surface area in South Indian weather conditions and to calculate the heat energy created by the receiver for residential usages, which lessens electricity usage and assists the nation in conserving energy acquired from carbon fuels. Water was employed as the working medium in this investigation. The trials have been conducted in the first week of March 2021 at 13.0827° North, 80.2707° East. The findings confirmed that the solar thermal system's estimated average efficacy remained 44.3%, and the system's maximum output temperature of water was 67°C. |
