Abstract

The topic of the research of solar energy has become a matter of great concern due to energy crisis all over the world. Solar energy is the very promising source of energy i.e. easily available. In this study, exergy analysis of evacuated tube two fluid solar water heating system is carried out along with vertical shell and tube heat exchanger. In this study, energy quality and quantity of the system is evaluated by applying the phenomenon of exergy analysis. The exergy analysis, when applied to ETC and vertical shell and tube heat exchanger tells us about the efficient use of energy resources, exergetic efficiencies of the system and it also determines the exergy losses carried out in ETC and heat exchanger. Keywords: Solar energy, solar water heating system, evacuated tube collector (ETC), vertical shell and tube heat exchanger, exergy analysisCite this Article Yadav N, Tripathi A.
