This project describes the design of flat plate solar collector for Sheba Tannery
which is sited in Wukro. Basically the design is made to construct a collector
which provides hot water for one of the many processes called deliming. In this
process, hot water at 38-400C is needed to create conducive environment for the
enzymatic action made on sheep and goat skins.
Amongst many types of flat plate solar collectors, this report presents the design
of flat plate collector with forced fluid and non-circulating type. In this type of
collector, cold water at adequate pressure enters the collector, circulates in the
zigzag tubes of the collector, stored in the hot water tank after exit from the
collector and finally pumped to the desired tanning drum by means of pump and
hose. In this particular design, however, a pump is not used to pressurize the
fluid into the collector, but pressure from the cold water reservoir of the tannery
is adjusted by means of a small pressure and flow rate stabilizing tank, thus cost
is reduced. After the cold water is stabilized, it passes through a piping system
that delivers cold water to sets of collectors. There is also another insulated
piping that gathers the heated water from collectors and deliver it to the
insulated hot water tank.
The major design considerations undertaken are the design of cold water piping
systems, the solar collector, the hot water piping system with it’s insulation and
the design of the hot water tank with insulation. The major problems
encountered is attributed to the design of the collector, where the high demand
of hot water consumption resulted in large heating loads and, therefore, larger
collectors. Obviously, this large size of the collector has negative impact
regarding the cost, manageability and usage of different materials for
construction of the collector. We, however, managed the problem by using
scraps of materials to reduce the cost and partitioning the collector into
manageable sizes.

CHAPTER ONE
LITERATURE REVIEW
For centuries people have studied various concentrating and flat plate collectors.
Solar energy collection has been plagued by the deceptive simplicity of the
physics. Many people feel qualified to design collectors to heat swimming pools
after having experienced hot water coming from a garden hose left lying in the
sun. Many have worked in the field without understanding what they were doing,
and without knowing what others had done before them.
The energy crisis and oil embargo in the early 1970s provided a stimulus to solar
energy research and development in the United States, just as sputnik some 15
years earlier had stimulated aerospace research and development. The result
was an explosive growth in the solar energy literature that paralleled the earlier
growth in aerospace literature.

The Hottel-Whiller (HW) linear model of the flat plate collector has in the past
few years received more attention than they probably intended. Although Hottel,
Woertz and Whillier derived all the linear equations of the HW model, second-
order effects were carefully considered even though at the time it was an
excruciatingly time consuming task to do the calculations. The linear equations
were only considered to be an approximate description of collector behavior.
Tabor, Hottel, Woertz, Whillier and many others often worked with make shift
and inadequate results on convection heat transfer coefficients in the flat plate
collector glazing systems. For some curious reasons the results of Juerges (1924)
were used for decades by almost everyone in the field for the external
convection heat transfer losses.
The Juerges values led to the prediction of very low collection efficiencies for
unglazed collectors. Standard boundary layer theory led to much lower losses
and agreed fairly well with experimental results. Convection heat transfer for flat
plate collectors is now understood quite well.

Fig 2.1 Graphical representation of hot water requirement
For the above particular tanning process, called bating, temperature ranges from
370C to 400C can create favorable conditions for the enzymatic action on the
skins. However, we have chosen 400C as the outlet temperature of the solar
collector so that heat lost due to piping and pumping via flexible pipes can
reduce it to suitable range.
In order to determine the flow rate of hot water from the collector to the delivery
tank, it is assumed that the collector works from 2AM up to 5PM.
The size of the hot water tank must be, at minimum,
2400lit + 8800lit = 11200lit.
Let the time duration from 2AM to 5AM be period 1, from 5AM to 1PM period 2
and from 1PM to 5PM period 3.
Now, after 8800lit is consumed at 5PM, 2400lit will remain at 2AM. Thus
Vp1 = 8600lit/3hrs = 2866.67 lit/hr
Vp2 = 9900lit/2hrs = 4950 lit/hr
Vp3 = 11200lit/4hrs = 2800 lit/hr
Where Vpi is the volumetric flow rate of water at ith period.
From the above results, the design value must be 4950 lit/hr which is very large
for flat plate solar collectors. However, if the collector is made to fill X liters in
addition to the 8600 liters at period 1, Vp2 reduces and Vp1 increases.
i.e. and .
Equating Vp1 with Vp2, yields, X = 2500 lit. Thus Vp1 = 3700 lit/hr, Vp2 = 3700 lit/hr
and Vp3 = 2800 lit/hr. Still the design value (3700 lit/hr) is too large.
Now, if we add “d” amount of volume to the total tank volume, we can reduce
both Vp1 and Vp2 but increase Vp3 slightly.
5
i.e.
Since the above equations are functions of two variables, tedious trial and error
calculation is necessary to obtain lower values of volume flow rates. After much
iteration, the following results are obtained.
X = 3300 lit and d = 2000 lit.
Therefore, the volume flow rates will be; Vp1 = Vp2 = Vp3 = 3300 lit/hr.
Since water is incompressible, smallest volumetric flow rate implies smallest
mass flow rate. Thus 3300 lit/hr = 0.912 Kg/s at the average density. This is the
smallest possible mass flow rate one can achieve.
The hot water tank, finally, becomes 11200 lit + 2000 lit = 13200 lit = 13.2 m 3.

All the solar intensity won’t get absorbed in but there is some portion which is
being transmitted, reflected away from the collector. The transmittance,
reflectance, and absorptance are functions of the incoming radiation, thickness,
refractive index, and extinction coefficient of the material. Generally, the
refractive index n and the extinction coefficient K of the cover material are
functions of the wavelength of the radiation.

Note that the above value is the ideally minimum value. I.e. it holds only for
collector with 100% efficiency and absolutely no energy loss. However, it implies
that the area of the collector cannot be less than this value.
Taking efficiency of 50%, an estimate of the collector can be made.
The exact area of the collector is determined by considering the flow rate of
water through the circulating copper pipes. The flow rate must not exceed a
certain value. In order to reduce the flow rate, collector area is increased so that
each panels or units share equal flow rates. Determination of the collector area is
presented in the next topics.

assembly. Also note that the cold water entry and hot water exit pipes are
located on opposite sides. This is because the cold water supply line and hot
water storage tank are located at the opposite corners of the tannery hall.

The selected insulating material is urethane foam with the following properties.

ρ = 70 Kg/m3
K = 0.026 W/mK
Cp = 1045 J/KgK
FR = … eqn(4.2)
Where FR = heat removal factor. It is a quantity that relates the actual useful
energy gain of a collector to the useful gain if the whole collector surface were at
the fluid inlet temperature.
19
In determination of AC, the area which is not covered by fins must be subtracted
from the available collector area which is 1.694m X 5.35m. For the case that
there are 5 parallel pipes, and thus 4 pipe bends, A C reduces to 8.489m2. The
reason why it’s made 5 parallel pipes is to avoid the forth coming failure which
will be shown later. Now, substituting all the values in eqn (4.2) yields
FR = 2.306 (which should NOT be greater than unity).
Substituting the values gives, = 0.066 Kg/s which implies that there should
be 13.82 units or 4.61 collectors are necessary. Checking it out for 5 collectors or
Now, calculating for Tpm gives, Tpm =33.4270C which is different from what we
have guessed initially (430C). Thus the whole calculation from equation 4.1 is
iterated again and again!
After this iteration, the following results are obtained.
Tpm = 340C (accepted) , UL = 3.417 W/m2K and FR = 0.925.
20
However, this is not enough to decide whether 5 collectors are enough or not.
The mean fluid temperature, Tfm , must also fall in suitable range i. e. from 25 to
350C.
…eqn(4.3)
K = thermal conductivity
W = the distance between parallel pipes
D = outside diameter of pipes
Let n be the number of parallel pipes (which is 5 for the time being).
21
Tfm = 1.2630C, which is, again, a failure. To get acceptable result, the parameters
must be changed and steps from eqn(4.3) must be repeated. The results are
shown below.
For n = 7; W = 0.242, F = 0.926, = 0.925, = 1.019. Thus Tfm = 16.220C.
The length of the copper pipe in this case will be, 39.731metres per unit * 15
units = 595.965m.
For n = 9: W = 0.188, F = 0.954, =0.953, =0.989. Thus Tfm = 22.1350C.
Also, the length in this case will be 757.687m.
Note, for the collector pipe inlet and outlets to be on opposite sides, n must be
odd number. That is if, for example, n = 6, both the inlet and outlet pipes are on
the same side.
Conclusion from the above results- even if T pm falls in acceptable ranges, T fm
cannot be so. Therefore, 5 collectors or 15 units are not enough. Besides length
of the copper pipe is very large which is indeed very costly. Therefore, the only
choice we have is to add another collector.
For the analysis of 6 collectors (18 units) the processes discussed so far are
repeated (i.e from equation 4.1).
The fluid heat transfer coefficient is calculated as follows.

DESIGN OF HOT WATER PIPE SYSTEM
In this section heat losses from different piping systems are calculated. The
pipes subjected to heat loss are:
Pipe bends inside collector (which lay outside the fin area)
Pipe system that connect panels of the collectors to hot water tank
The hot water tank, during the idling times.
Tfm = 33.70C
Length of the copper pipe that lays outside the area covered by the fin, l bend, is:

The thickness of insulation of the pipe is calculated from the critical insulation
equation.
0.026
Substituting the values, r’o = 1.328*10-3 m. Since r’o is less than the outer radius
of the pipe itself, any addition of insulation decreases the heat transfer rate.
Let lins = 1cm where lins = length (or thickness) of insulation

Similarly,
Note that the thickness of insulation is 1 Cm i.e. the same as pipe “a”.

32
Pipe “d” differs from pipe “b” and “c” only in its length, which is 2.5 m, and the
fluid flow rate it handles. The calculation shown previously is repeated for the
new value of mass flow rate and length. The results of thermal resistances are as

However, from the calculation of Tfm, 5 collectors gave a result implying failure
and, therefore, 6 collectors were used.

Notes:
For analytical purposes, the ends of the tank are assumed to be flat rather
than torispherical.
The critical radius of insulation is calculated as before and the obtained
value is 6.5 mm which is less than the outer radius of the shell. In this
case, since any addition of insulation decreases the heat transfer rate, the
thickness of insulation for both the ends and shell is taken to be 0.01 m.
The result of thermal resistances is shown below.
In other words, if the tank loses 681.818 Joules per second, it will lose
15 * 3600 * 681.818 = 36818172.000 Joules in 15 hours.

Mass of the water in the tank is V * ρ = 13136.640 Kg. Now the decrease in
temperature is calculated as,

will be, 40 – 0.671 = 39.3280C. This falls in the acceptable range.
CHAPTER SIX
CALCULATION OF PRESSURE DROP IN COLD WATER PIPE
SYSTEM
In order the fluid to pass through the pipes and raised to a roof easily, it should
be forced by a pump. But considering the cost in using the pump; we preferred
to use the already installed reservoir which is 25m high.
The turbulent flow of a fluid runs on the collector and pipes before and after the
collector, it should surely withstand the major loss, the friction loss and the
minor losses. The minor losses are losses of energy due to change of velocity of
the fluid in magnitude.
Mostly the minor head losses are due to:
Sudden enlargement
Sudden contraction
Entrance to a pipe
Exit of a pipe
Obstruction in a pipe
Bend in the pipe
38
Having this 25m head, let’s calculate the losses from the tower to the collector
which is to be positioned on the roof of the production hall.
The steel pipes have nominal dimensions of 4,3,2,3/8 inches stretched from the
reservoir to the collector .And the respective internal diameter in mm from
reference [2] through interpolation respectively are 102.3,77.9,52.5 and 12.522.
And the water properties and at a temperature of 200C are found to be
1.01*10-3Kg/ms and 997.6Kg/m.
The average flow rate that the production shop uses is 417 litres/minute.
The utilities other than the production shop like the cafeteria use one-fifth of the
total flow rate. Therefore the production uses four-fifth of the whole flow rate.
= 8.6875*10-3m3/s
The major and minor losses in each pipe are as follows:
In pipe number 1
39
=0.029m
Pipe number 2
Since it has the same diameter to pipe number one; they are equal in velocity
hf ,for l = 3.4m & d = 0.102m, =0.0335m
Pipe number 3
Note that all the pipes from 3 to 7 do have V =1.5 m/s and d = 0.0779m
= 0.115m
=1.2*105
f = 4.3*10-3
hf ,for l = 5.8m, =0.147m
Pipe number 4
= 0.103
hf ,for l = 0.5m, =0.013m
Pipe number 5
= 0.103m
hf,for l = 77.5m, = 1.96m
Pipe number 6
= 0.103m
40
hf,for l = 1.6m, = 0.04m
Pipe number7
= 0.103m
The total pressure loss for the 7 pipes =3.0405m
hf, for l = 1.5m, = 0.041m
The total pressure loss =2.995+10.168=13.163m
The pressure difference is 25-13.163=11.837m
Therefore this pressure difference is more than enough in order to push the fluid
up to the collector.
Stabilizing tank
The stabilizing tanker is to be set on the roof in order to stabilize fluctuating flow
rate and it gives the necessary pressure through the collector and other pressure
drops through the different bends.
The nominal diameter of the pipe that goes out from the stabilizing tank is
assumed to be 2 inch i.e. 52.5mm internal diameter. And the total mass flow
rate after the tank is 0.912kg/s.
=9.14*10-4M3/S
Then V=0.42m/s
h = hi + hf
41
h =0.0369m
Loss along the copper tubes of the collector
The and properties of water at a mean fluid temperature of 33.70C through
interpolation are 7.43*10-4 and 994.4 kg/m3.
f = 8.115+10-3
Therefore head loss due to friction for the 2 end pipes, length =5.206,
= 0.776m
Head loss due to friction for the 3 central pipes hf = 1.120 m. For a length of
5.012 m.
The four bends are neither flanged nor threaded type. Therefore taking the
42
The selected nominal pipe diameter for the pipes at the entrance to the unit
collectors is 3/8 inch (12.522mm).They are of equal in length i.e. 0.2m and flow
rate of 5.11*10-5.
Using these values V = 0.416m/s
Pipe number a1
= 7.94*10-3
hf, for l = 0.2m, = 5.267*10-3m
For the rest of collectors from hsa2 to hsc3 , K=1 for tee along branch
43
ht = 4.446*1.174*10-3m
hII = 2.021*10-4
For hs1
hf, for l = 1.697m, = 3.229*10-4m
ht = 0.99*10-4m
hs1 = 4.22*10-4m
For hIII
hf, for l = 1.652m, = 5.36*10-4m
ht = 1.8*10-4m
hIII = 7.161*10-4m
For hIV
hf, for l = 1.652m, = 7.896*10-4m
ht = 2.805*10-4m
hIV = 1.07*10-3m
For hs2
hf, for l = 1.697m, = 1.106*10-3m
ht = 3.996*10-4m
For hV
hf, for l = 1.652m, = 1.425*10-3m
ht = 5.51*10-4m
The total loss for
hV = 1.976*10-3m
For hVI
hf, for l = 1.652m, = 1.803*10-3m
ht = 7.206*10-4m
hVI = 2.524*10-3m
For hs3
hf, for l = 0.848m, = 1.132*10-3m
44
hs3 = 3.402*10-3m
Then the summation of the loses in series with the unit collectors up to the tee
joint of the 3/8 pipes are in parallel with the loses before them and are in series
with the loses after them. Therefore the total sum of the loses is equal to
0.155m.

the coming 20 years becomes 21.755*20*365 = 158811 .5kwh.
As from the EELPA information the electrical cost for one kWh in Ethiopia is 0.58
birr for institutions and 0.36 birr for house hold.

The corresponding electrical cost will be 158811.5kwh*0.58birr/kwh = 92110.67
birr.
The difference in birr between the solar water heating system and the electrical
system will be
92110.67-77008.98birr = 15101.69 birr with out including the cost of the
electrical of boiler and other installations.
Due to the low cumulative cost, no emission and low risk of accident of the solar
collector makes the cost the power produced be higher than the cost of the
electrical power. So it is recommendable to use solar collector to boil water.

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
From this project, it can be concluded that the design of solar collectors of the
type specified earlier needs great effort and patience for the cumbersome
iteration involved. Since the collector is designed for industrial application, its
size is bigger from what it may have been thought to be. Therefore, reducing the
collector area in as much as possible was one of the major concerns. In addition,
the issue of manageability has to be dealt with without making the piping
systems complicated.
It may seem for many people that flat plate collectors are of low cost because of
the absence of tracking system and machining of complex parts during
manufacturing. Even though for industrial application like this project, the total
cost is mainly attributed to the collector materials such as aluminum sheets and
copper tubes, the cost of other system parts such as water tanks, piping and
insulations have big effects.
Like any industrial equipment, the collector involves high initial cost. Since such
types of collectors are maintenance free, run time costs are almost negligible.
Therefore, the company is strongly recommended to implement the collector we
have designed. Unlike mast water heaters which operate by usage of fossil fuels,
using solar water heaters is beneficiary in the light of environmental issues.
Finally, since flat plate solar collectors are most commonly used, we would like to
recommend further work to be done on the development of software for this
purpose. The software, obviously, saves lot of time and energy spent on the
iterations and other calculations.
