The increasing demand for renewable energy has led to a surge in the development and installation of solar water heater water heating systems. These systems convert sunlight into heat to warm water, reducing the need for electricity. However, for optimal performance, it is essential to conduct a detailed efficiency analysis of the solar water heating system to determine its efficiency and potential for improvement.
Thermal performance analysis is a vital step in designing and optimizing solar water heaters. It involves the study of heat transfer principles, to evaluate the system's ability to meet the hot water needs of a building.
The thermal analysis is typically carried out in two stages: the optimization stage. In the performance evaluation, key parameters such as the solar water heaters' effortless performance, flow rate, and the temperature distribution of the water are determined.
