Description
The problem faced in Sizing of an effective Solar Water Heater (SWH) by engineers to meet certain design
requirement is highly enormous. Using the thermodynamic characterization relation and the knowledge of
Solar Water Heater (SWH) density’s model; various design were evaluated. The result shows that density
model actually predicts adequately and providing alternative means of estimating these design parameters.
Also, the properties of the system, such as entropy and enthalpy (specific heat capacities), which cannot be
determined directly from experimental axiom, were evaluated. These evaluations therefore, give room to
express the thermodynamics properties of the system and consequently improve the design performance.
Further comparisons with experimental results reveal a better outfit. Therefore through the knowledge of
thermodynamic relation an efficient Solar Water Heater is operated and empirical data is expanded.
