DETERMINATION OF RATIONAL PARAMETERS OF VERTICAL TUBULAR THERMOSIPHON SOLAR HOT WATER SYSTEMS

Abstract

Vertical tubular thermosiphon solar hot water systems have been studied and applied over the past some years. However, in order to improve the efficiency of the system, the relationship of main parameters for determining its rational dimensions must be studied further. To do this research, the paper presents the mathematical simulation of main processes in the system. Based on these computational experiments, some main parameters are proposed.
