A dynamic simulation program for a flat-plate solar collector has been developed and used for a parametric sensitivity study of the collector. A computer simulation language, C.S.M.P., was used for the simultaneous solution of the differential equations describing the system. The program is...

A computer simulation program for a central solar domestic heat water (DHW) system has been developed and validated by comparing it with the actual performance data obtained from a real-life system. A computer simulation language, CSMP, was used for the simultaneous solution of the differential...

A solar-assisted central hot water system was retrofitted onto one of the student dormitory complexes of the Ben Gurion University, Beer Sheva, Israel. The system consisted of twenty commercial solar collectors, of the pipe and plate type (1.78 m2/collector), and a 2 m3 central hot water tank...
