Performance Analysis of Solar Flat Plate Collector with Improved Flow Configuration

This paper presents experimental investigation regarding performance and reliability of a newly designed flat plate solar collector. Now a days the usage of natural resources are highly in progress because artificial resources such as electricity, gasoline, fuel etc. are in declination stage and are very expensive. Solar radiation from sun is emitted that falls on earth surface this radiation is collected by using solar collectors. Solar heating systems is one of the applications of solar energy. One of the component of a solar heating system is a solar collector that consist of an absorber. Another component is reflector that consists of reflecting the sun radiation. The performance solar heating system depends on the absorber in the solar flat plate collector. Thus, this study is conducted to use a flat plate solar collector of a solar heating system as well as to evaluate in the performance of the solar collector.
