Online Solar Thermal Energy Systems, Solar thermal engineer tutor - Bhavnagar, India - TeacherOn

Description

The objective of this project is to design and analyse a solar thermal energy system with a storage
system to meet a specific demand (according to your application given in the second page).

This includes:

• Define the application/required load and the necessary components;
• Location, radiation resource and time of the application;
• Total required solar collector area and inclination;

Capacity of the system:
liters of heat transfer fluid per second, per hour or per day, from a
specified low temperature to a specified high temperature;

• Material required for each part (dimension and properties);
• Thermal energy lost through each of the loss mechanisms discussed in class;
• Analysis of the storage system and use of auxiliary system if necessary;
• Modeling of the transient behavior of the system using Trnsys;
• Economic analysis of the proposed solution (payback time, return of investment).

Report requirements:
State and justify all your assumptions and make reference to credible sources
when applicable. Perform a thermal analysis of the proposed system and show your calculations.
Provide visual illustrations. Interpret and discuss your results. Comment on the value and limitations
of your analysis. Critique your proposed design. The report should minimally contain the following

sections:
Introduction, Theory, Assumptions, Calculations, Discussion and Conclusion. The report
should be of 20-30 pages maximum.
