Question:
A solar energy collector measuring 20 × 20 ft is installed on a roof in a horizontal position. The incident solar energy flux is 200 Btu/h ft2, and the collector surface temperature is 150°F. What fraction of incident solar energy is lost by convection to the stagnant surrounding air at a temperature of 50°F? What effect on the convective losses would result if the collector were crisscrossed with ridges spaced 1 ft apart?
