All answers must have 5-7 sentences each, must be in own words
1. What is solar radiation? Explain with help of plank’s energy distribution (spectrum) diagram.
2. How do you calculate total irradiance from the sun?
3. Explain Stefan-Boltzmann law, Weins displacement law, and inverse square law.
4. Calculate total energy emitted by sun. (find energy emitted per unit area using S-B law, then multiply that with surface area of sun)_
5. Calculate total energy emitted by earth.
6. What is solar irradiance and what is its value on the surface of the earth.
7. Explain a) scattering b) absorption and c) reflection of solar radiation
8. Explain the phenomena selective absorption in the atmosphere.
9. Explain the terms a) irradiation b) radiosity c) Insolation d) solar constant
10. Explain summer and winter solstice
11. Explain monthly insolation at different latitudes on the surface.
12. What is solar altitude angle and azimuth angle?
13. What is daily insolation and how do you calculate it. What are factor influencing it?
14. Explain with a diagram the ‘physics’ behind a flat solar collector.
15. How do you calculate energy absorbed and lost by a receiver of flat plate collector.
16. Explain specular, diffuse and general deflection of light.
17. How do you calculate energy ultimately absorbed in a flat plate collector.
18. What is Heat removal factor
19. How do you calculate efficiency of a flat plat collector?
20. For a flat plate collector if the transmittity, absorptivity and reflectivity are respectively 0.7, 0.8 and 0.7 respectively. Calculate the fraction of solar energy ultimately absorbed.
21. The flat plate collector in Q20 has area 20 m2. Solar radiation intensity available to the plate is 200W/m2. Calculate the amount of radiation absorbed by the plate.
22. For the same collector, if the surface temperature is 80oC and ambient temperature is 25oC. The overall heat transfer co-efficient is 15W/m2oC. Calculate the heat loss to surrounding from the collector
23. Calculate energy utilized by the absorber
24. Water is used to remove heat from the collector. The temperature of fluid at inlet and out let of the collector is 20 and 89oC respectively. Calculate the mass flow rate required.
25. Calculate the heat removal factor for the collector
26. Calculate collector efficiency

To do that, we use our in-house software, which can find not only copy-pasted fragments, but even paraphrased pieces of text. Unlike popular plagiarism-detection systems, which are used by most universities (e.g. Turnitin.com), we do not report to any public databases—therefore, such checking is safe.
We provide a plagiarism-free guarantee that ensures your paper is always checked for its uniqueness. Please note that it is possible for a writing company to guarantee an absence of plagiarism against open Internet sources and a number of certain databases, but there is no technology (except for turnitin.com itself) that could guarantee no plagiarism against all sources that are indexed by turnitin. If you want to be 100% sure of your paper’s originality, we suggest you check it using the WriteCheck service from turnitin.com and send us the report.
Yes. You can have a free revision during 7 days after you’ve approved the paper. To apply for a free revision, please press the revision request button on your personal order page. You can also apply for another writer to make a revision of your paper, but in such a case, we can ask you for an additional 12 hours, as we might need some time to find another writer to work on your order.
After the 7-day period, free revisions become unavailable, and we will be able to propose only the paid option of a minor or major revision of your paper. These options are mentioned on your personal order page.
