Abstract

The mathematical model in matrix form describing the behavior of the flat-plate solar collector in operation has been presented in a scholastic manner. It should be noted that the correct operation of the flat-plate solar collector is highly dependent on solar radiation. For this reason, we have represented the temperature variation T1 to T7 in the segments I=1 to I=7. The Mac Solar solarimeter and Mac Solar radiation dosimeter were used to bring out the real dimension of this scientific investigation.
