Abstract:

The conventional energy sources are inadequate to accommodate the demand of energy which increases due to rapid industrialization and population growth. To overcome these problem non-conventional energy resources are used. Solar flat plate collector is a solar energy collector which is used to absorb solar radiation from sun and employed for heating the fluid flowing through it. Generally it uses circular pipe through which fluid is flow. Flat plate collector is use to raise the temperature of flowing fluid up to desired temperature that is up to 1000C. This collector absorbs both direct and diffuse solar radiation. Due to this reason it can works effectively on cloudy days. Hence, performance of solar flat plate collector is increased.
