TI - Influence of the flow rate and the tank stratification degree on the performances of a solar flat-plate collector KW - SOLAR FLAT-PLATE COLLECTOR KW - COPOLYMER KW - STRATIFIED TANK KW - FLOW RATE KW - MODELING KW - PERFORMANCE N2 - Using a thermal model of finite differences, the performances of a solar flat-plate thermal collector wholly manufactured in a copolymer material is studied in low flow conditions. The influences of the flow rate and the stratification of the tank are analysed. Thermal performances, productivity and efficiency of such a solar system (collector with surface of 2 m2 and a storage tank of 150 litres)are presented for a Mediterranean site. Such a system presents a yearly mean efficiency of about 55.5 UR - https://drive.google.com/file/d/11DJiVSr2o6c7STGsQqnztdBgqRto-fUY/view?usp=drivesdk ER -
