question

200 Kg of water at T_i = 35°C is kept in an auxiliary reservoir tobe heated by solar energy. The solar collector used has a surfacearea of A = 5m^2. The heat removal factor and the overallheat transfer coefficient are F_R = 0.80 and U_L = 8.0 W/m^2.°C, respectively. The ambient temperature T_a = 30°C. The product of the heat transfer coefficient and reservoirarea is (UA) = 1.80 W/°C. During an emergency, thewater will be used at a rate ṁ = 15 kg/hr and is refilled at atemperatureT_rf= 20°C. Determine the efficiency of this operationfrom 7 am to 5 pm. Refer to table 1 for hourly solar data.
