Textbook Question
Chapter 9, Problem 9.101P
A solar collector design consists of an inner tube enclosed concentrically in an outer tube that is transparent to solar radiation. The tubes are thin walled with inner and outer diameters of 0.10 and 0.15 m, respectively. The annular space between the tubes is completely enclosed and filled with air at atmospheric pressure. Under operating conditions forwhich the inner and outer tube surface temperatures arc 70 and 30°C, respectively, what is the convective heat loss per meter of tube length across the air space?

QUESTION 6
A simple solar collector in Figure Q1 is built by placing a 5 cm diameter clear plastic tube around a
garden hose whose outer diameter is 1.6 cm. The hose is painted black to maximize solar absorption,
and some plastic rings are used to keep the spacing between the hose and the clear plastic cover
constant. During a clear day, the temperature of the hose is measured to be 65 °C, while the ambient
air temperature is 26 °C. Determine the clear plastic tube temperature and the rate of heat loss from the
water in the hose per meter of its length by natural convection.
