Analysis and modelling of solar evaporator collector

Solar energy is considered a sustainable resource and it has little or no harmful effects on the environment. The performance of a solar system depends to a great extent on the collector used for the conversion of solar radiant energy to thermal energy. A solar evaporator-collector (SEC) is basicall...
