In this case, the heat/thermal loss coefficient with wind velocity is more as expected. Example 4.1 indicates that the absorber flat plate will cool faster with wind velocity due to its direct exposure to an ambient air. In order to retain thermal energy in absorber flat plate, one should reduce both upward and down ward heat loss from the absorber flat plate.
A cost-effect, “black” liquid, flat-plate solar collector has been designed, and prototypes have been built and tested. In these collectors a highly absorbent “black” liquid flows in transparent channels and directly absorbs solar energy. The liquid is the hottest substance in the collector, and no metals are required anywhere in the design.
In these collectors a highly absorbent “black” liquid flows in transparent channels and directly absorbs solar energy. The liquid is the hottest substance in the collector, and no metals are required anywhere in the design. The collector differs in the following ways from conventional flat-plate collectors:
1. 1. Solar radiation is absorbed directly by the black liquid without the need to heat any other structures within the collector. 2. 2. Lower heat losses are possible since energy is absorbed directly by the working fluid, and the flow pattern can be arranged so that the hottest spot is in the center of the collector away from all edges.
Flat-plate collectors are the most common solar collector for solar water-heating systems in homes and solar space heating. A typical flat-plate collector is an insulated metal box with a glass or plastic cover (called the glazing) and a dark-colored absorber plate. These collectors heat liquid or air at temperatures less than 80°C.
Additionally, the design of the collector, such as the thickness of the absorber material, can also affect the penetration depth. Increasing the thickness of the absorber material can increase the path length of the solar radiation, allowing for deeper penetration and more effective heat absorption.
The collector begins to refill when the collector temperature falls below the boiling temperature and condensation begins as a result of a reduction in the solar irradiation. The hot liquid pushed out of the collector in the course of phase 2 can put a critical temperature strain on components other than the collector.

Example 4.1 indicates that the absorber flat plate will cool faster with wind velocity due to its direct exposure to an ambient air.

Large amounts of liquid are pushed into the expansion vessel by the formation of saturated steam within the collector. As a result, the system pressure rises rapidly as does the boiling point in the pipe sections filled with saturated steam. Liquid which is almost at the boiling temperature puts a high temperature stress on the system components.
