摘要
The operation of solar thermal devices under natural circulation mode has been proven to have various advantages over forced circulation mode in terms of simplicity, reliability and cost effectiveness. Hence, a theoretical model of a solar distillation system, consisting of a single basin solar still coupled with a panel of collectors has been developed. The proposed system operates under natural circulation mode (thermosyphon mode) through a heat exchanger placed inside the water in the basin of the solar still. The effect of various operating parameters, e.g. temperature dependence of internal heat transfer coefficients, time dependence of water mass, depth of water mass, heat exchanger length, collector area, etc. have been incorporated in the thermal model. Numerical computations have been carried out for a typical day of Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea. On the basis of theoretical results, an empirical relation for internal heat transfer coefficients has been derived. The obtained results have also been discussed in detail. © 1990.
