    The document analyzes the performance of a modified solar water heating system for the climatic conditions of Allahabad, India. The researchers propose a system with a double-layered acrylic tube collector and a water tank made of double-layered acrylic sheets, with fiber reinforced plastic insulation. A thermal model is developed in MATLAB to simulate a 200L system with a 1.6 m^2 collector area at a 25 degree inclination. Simulation results found the maximum water temperatures were 71.2°C in the tank and 73.3°C in the tubes at late afternoon in March. Theoretical performance analysis was also conducted by varying design parameters and climatic data for winter and summer.

    Performance Analysis of Modified Solar Water Heating System for Climatic


    Condition of Allahabad, India
    Authors : Kirti Tewari, Rahul Dev
    Abstract : Solar water heating is a thermodynamic process of heating water using sunlight with the help of solar water heater.
    Thus, solar water heater is a device used to harness solar energy. In this paper, a modified solar water heating system
    (MSWHS) has been proposed over flat plate collector (FPC) and Evacuated tube collector (ETC). The modifications include
    selection of materials other than glass, and glass wool which are conventionally used for fabricating FPC and ETC. Some
    modifications in design have also been proposed. Its collector is made of double layer of semi-cylindrical acrylic tubes and fibre
    reinforced plastic (FRP) insulation base. Water tank is made of double layer of acrylic sheet except base and north wall. FRP is
    used in base and north wall of the water tank. A concept of equivalent thickness has been utilised for calculating the
    dimensions of collector plate, acrylic tube and tank. A thermal model for the proposed design of MSWHS is developed and
    simulation is carried out on MATLAB for the capacity of 200L MSWHS having collector area of 1.6 m2, length of acrylic tubes
    of 2m at an inclination angle 25 which is taken nearly equal to the latitude of the given location. Latitude of Allahabad is
    24.45 N. The results show that the maximum temperature of water in tank and tube has been found to be 71.2C and 73.3C
    at 17:00hr and 16:00hr respectively in March for the climatic data of Allahabad. Theoretical performance analysis has been

    carried out by varying number of tubes of collector, the tank capacity and climatic data for given months of winter and
    summer.
