Question

A home has a solar water heater with water capacity of 19.9 US liquid gallons. Water is initially at 26 ℃.
The solar water heater heats the water between 10 am and 3 pm. The average incident normal solar
radiation on the solar collector during these hours is 450 W/m2, the collector has an area of 10 m2 and
its efficiency is 70%.

i)Calculate the power absorbed by the collector and the total quantity of heat transferred to the water by 3 pm.

ii) By considering the energy required to heat a liquid, determine the temperature
 of the water by 3 pm
