ISE II ASSIGNMENT

1.Calculate the angle of incidence of beam radiation with normal to a flat plate collector on
November 30 at 9 am. Solar time for a location at l6º70’N. The collector is tilted at an
angle of latitude plus l2º, with the horizontal and pointing due south.
2.Write the advantages and disadvantages of concentrating collectors over flat plate
types of solar collector

77030’ E at 12:30 IST on June 19, 2010. Equation of time correction is given from
Standard table is 1’01”.
7.Calculate Local Apparent Time (LAT) and declination at a location latitude
16.7" N, longitude 74.24" E at 12.30 IST on July 24.Equation of time
correction: - (1'06")
8.Calculate the angle of incidence of beam radiation with normal to a flat
plate collector pointing the south location in Kolhapur ( 16"7'N,74"24'E)
at 10.00 hours solar time on October 29. The collector is tilted at an
angle of 350 with the horizontal. Also calculate day length.
