Water flows through a 5 cm diameter pipe at the focus of a 2 m wide parabolic trough reflector that is 5 m long at a rate of 0.2 L/s. If the insolation is 500 W/m² and all the solar energy is converted into heat, what is the increase in the temperature of water after it has transverse the length of the reflector?
