Résumé : |
The book is divided into four parts. The first three chapters, dealing with the sun, its apparent motion across the sky, and the insolation it provides at the earth's surface, give the student an insight into the nature of terrestrial insolution. Chapters 4 and 5 survey the principles of heat transfer and optics and present the background material for the following two chapters. Chapters 6 and 7 cover solar heaters for with applications to space heating and hot water supply systems and include topic such as flat plate collectors,arrays, thermal storage, and solar-assisted systems. The final part, chapters 8 and 9, discusses thermodynamic and photovoltaic conversion of solar energy to useful work. In addition, the book has two appendices : one summarizing the formulas for the sun's motion and the other deriving approximate equations for diffuse solar flux. The material can be covered in one semester with time available to include supplementary subjects. |
