Chapter 5, Problem 36R

To determine

To complete: The event chain in the concept map to show how an active solar heating system works.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

A solar heating system works on the utilization of solar energy from the sun. It works on the principle of heating fluid and storing that heat energy in storage for further usage.

The active solar heating system uses the sun’s energy to heat a fluid, maybe a liquid or a gas. The solar radiations are utilized to heat the air or water placed in the solar collectors. After which this hot fluid is circulated to radiators in the rooms of our houses through a pump. It can be used for different domestic uses and electrical consumption

  

Conclusion:

Hence, a solar heating device works to heat a fluid in a collector and pass it on to a radiator from where it is sent to the home.
