This is a performance model about Flat Plate Solar Collector Network. Users can select between series or parallel connection (Network type) to measure the system performance parameters. In this Flat Plate Solar Collector performance model, user will be able to discover the performance parameters such as efficiency, fin efficiency, outlet temperature, etc. The following parameters can be calculated:
1-Mean plate temperature.
2-FPC total area.
3-Overall losses.
4-Efficiency.
5-exergy analysis.
The available models are:
1-single FPC.
2-series FPC (1 x 2). (User can increase the model in series by copying the FPC block).
3-parallel FPC (2 x 1).(User can increase the model in parallel by copying the FPC block).
4-network FPC (3 x 2).(User can reform the network).
 
**MatLab-SimuLink should be used to run the model.
