Design, Construction And Performance Evaluation Of A Passive Solar Water Heater

ABSTRACTSolar energy being transmitted from the sun through space to earth by electromagnetic radiation must be converted to heat before it can be used in a practical heating or cooling system. Solar energy collectors, the devices used to convert the suns radiation to heat, usually consist of a surface that efficiently absorbs radiation and converts this incident flux to heat which raises the temperature of the absorbing material.There is the need for adequate research to be carried out on the solar heating system so as to make recommendations on the right design to improve it performance and …
