Abstract

In this paper, optimization of energy delivery by solar collectors is considered. Combining the temperature distribution, thermodynamic laws, and the exergy concept, the optimum operating conditions are analytically derived. Simple analytical expressions for the optimum outlet temperature and mass flow rate are obtained. The obtained results of this work may improve the solar collectors design hence enhance their performance.
