What is Heat Loss from Absorber?

Heat loss from an absorber refers to the energy lost from a heat-absorbing surface or material to its surroundings due to conduction, convection, or radiation. It occurs when the absorbed heat cannot be fully retained or utilized, reducing system efficiency. Minimizing heat loss is crucial in applications like solar panels, heat exchangers, and thermal storage systems to improve energy efficiency and performance.
