SOLAR THERMAL WORKSHOP ORGANIZED FOR THE STUDENTS OF
M Tech ES and REE
DATE OF EVENT- 12th – 15th December 2018
CHIEF GUEST/ LECTURER- Dr. S.C. Mullick, from IIT Delhi, India.
TARGET AUDIENCE- Students from M.Tech Renewable energy engineering
and Energy systems.
TOPICS COVERED-
1. Solar geometry which included finding the direction cosines, the latitude and longitude, solar hour angle, azimuth angle, radiation on a horizontal surface,
2. Radiation on a collector tilted by angle β towards south,
3. Solar collectors and their types the various losses and how they can be calculated,
4. Glazed collectors- collectors and how they behave with a glass cover
5. Energy collector equation, efficiency curve
6. The correction factors that have to be considered in the calculation of the various efficiencies,
7. The applications of solar thermal technologies- Solar air heaters, Roof-top solar technologies ann their latest advancements.
In addition to the above mentioned topics that were covered in the span of 4 days, the students were also given an opportunity to create a model with the help of Dr. S.C. Mullick and see for themselves how the various calculations can be done on a practical scale.
