Description
Summary:碩士 === 大葉大學 === 機械與自動化工程學系 === 97 === When the storage of fossil fuels become less and less, the application of solar energy gets more and more important. However, the solar thermal heating systems on the market are currently costly, heavy, and bulky. This thesis introduces the design of a novel solar collector, which unites the advantages of a flat plate collector and an evacuated tube collector to form a “flat plate evacuated solar collector”. The research studies the feasibility of this kind of solar collector; the study methods include the numerical simulations of fluid flow associated with heat transfers and the experiments on a real flat plate evacuated solar collector. The results show that the efficiency of the flat plate evacuated solar collector lies between the evacuated tube collector and flat plate collector and this novel solar collector is worth further study.
