Abstract
A simulation study is presented for the optimization of the thermal efficiency of the flat-plate solar collector, the relation between the envolved criteria(cover system, collector geometry) was presented, the configuration of cover system with possible different designs using convection suppressing devices(CSD) wag considered, the result are presented in a non-dimensional form. A heat transfer analysis for the collector is conducted and a model is developed, finally the steady state instantaneous thermal efficiency is evaluated for an uniform solar heat influx, the influence of cover system on efficiency is evaluated. The objective of the present study, mainly concerning the cover system, is to present a model to the study and the prediction of the optimum efficiencies of flat-plate collectors via numerical simulation.
