Area of Absorber given Heat Loss from Absorber Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Area of Absorber Plate = Heat Loss from Collector/(Overall Loss Coefficient*(Average Temperature of Absorber Plate-Ambient Air Temperature))
A_p = q_l/(U_l*(T_pm-T_a))
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Area of Absorber Plate - (Measured in Square Meter) - Area of absorber plate is defined as the area exposed to the sun that absorbs incident radiation .
Heat Loss from Collector - (Measured in Watt) - Heat loss from collector is defined as the heat losses that occur due to convection, conduction and radiation.
Overall Loss Coefficient - (Measured in Watt per Square Meter per Kelvin) - Overall loss coefficient is defined as the heat loss from collector per unit area of absorber plate and temperature difference between absorber plate and surrounding air.
Average Temperature of Absorber Plate - (Measured in Kelvin) - Average temperature of absorber plate is defined as the temperature spread across the surface area of the absorber plate.
Ambient Air Temperature - (Measured in Kelvin) - Ambient Air Temperature is the temperature of the surrounding medium.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Heat Loss from Collector: 8 Watt --> 8 Watt No Conversion Required
Overall Loss Coefficient: 1.25 Watt per Square Meter per Kelvin --> 1.25 Watt per Square Meter per Kelvin No Conversion Required
