摘要：

Low driving forces in thermosyphon solar water heaters make the measurement of thermosyphonic flow difficult. Tests were made on a thermosyphon Solar water heater to monitor the flow-rate using a hydrogen bubble flow meter. An analytical equation for the flow-rate was developed, and numerical predictions were obtained by a computer model. A comparison between the experimentally monitored and numerically predicted mass flow-rates showed a very good agreement. (C) 1998 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
