Σύνοψη

The objective of this project was to develop the
appropriate computer software,in order to predict the
performance of a (O.H.W) hydropic type system.
This project provides a comprehensive account of the
principles of solar energy needs. It begins with a detailed
treatment of solar radiation and provides some formulas,tables for the evaluation of some outcome elements. A review of heat transfer by convection and radiation and properties of materials relevant to solar processes are provided.
It shows the theory to model a hydropic type solar
collector. By the modelling of the collector, its performance can be evaluated. All the formulas, and the theory needed in the evaluation of the .performance of the collector is presented.
The theory of the storage system is presented too, for both stratified and unstratified storage unit. All the derived from books formulas are included.
After the modelling of the storage system and the
presentation of its theory this project provide all the
necessary information, formulas ,controls for the simulation of its performance.
Not only the prediction of the performance of a system
theory this project presents, but and a chapter on the
economic factor, which shows the theory and the formula for the evaluation of the economics of the modelled system.
After the presentation of the theory a users manual for
the developed software is provided, in order to run this
program smoothly as much as easy. Flow charts are provided to show how the program works to do the simulations.
Finally one diskette is available in the project with the
developed software stored with the name (FOSS).
This developed program provides comprehensive information on the functions, design and economics of solar thermal processes for researchers ,designers, engineers and students.
