Abstract

This paper presents a modeling of Solar Water Heating ( SWH ) used for
domestic or industrial application using Flat – Plate Collectors.
The research uses a new trend of application for Solar Radiation variation during
the day, The model is a ( Half – Sine ) Model for clear day with some assumptions
to predict the temperature fluctuation in the Storage tank and to calculate the
heating energy demand to be added to the Solar energy supplied by Sun.
An encouraging result has been found that will help the designer to have a good
idea and give useful indication about the system proposal to make a proper
economic analysis of any projects.
