Question:
A simple solar heater consists of a flat plate of glass below which is located a shallow pan filled with water, so that the water is in contact with the glass plate above it. Solar radiation passes through the glass at the rate of 490 W/m2. The water is at 92°C and the surrounding air is at 27°C. If the heat transfer coefficients between the water and the glass, and between the glass and the air are 28 W/ (m2 K) and 7 W/ (m2 K) respectively, determine the time required to transfer 1.1 MJ/m2 of surface to the water in the pan. The lower surface of the pan is assumed to be insulated.
