Collection efficiency when collector efficiency factor is present Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Collection efficiency when collector efficiency factor is present?

FIRST Step Consider the formula

η i = (F′ \cdot (\frac{A p}{A c}) \cdot τα av) - (F′ \cdot A p \cdot U l \cdot (T f - T a) \cdot \frac{1}{I T})

Next Step Substitute values of Variables

∴

η i = (0.3 \cdot (\frac{13m²}{11m²}) \cdot 0.35) - (0.3 \cdot 13m² \cdot 1.25W/m²*K \cdot (14K - 300K) \cdot \frac{1}{450J/sm²})

Next Step Convert Units

∴

η i = (0.3 \cdot (\frac{13m²}{11m²}) \cdot 0.35) - (0.3 \cdot 13m² \cdot 1.25W/m²*K \cdot (14K - 300K) \cdot \frac{1}{450W/m²})

Next Step Prepare to Evaluate

∴

η i = (0.3 \cdot (\frac{13}{11}) \cdot 0.35) - (0.3 \cdot 13 \cdot 1.25 \cdot (14 - 300) \cdot \frac{1}{450})

Next Step Evaluate

∴

η i = 3.22242424242424

LAST Step Rounding Answer

∴

η i = 3.2224
