Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:
analyze and discuss the physical processes that determine the output of a solar thermal collector, and relate this to mathematical models that can be used to calculate this output
calculate the optical parameters of absorbers, reflectors and transparent materials as well as compare their characteristics
describe and evaluate different thermal loads and be able to estimate them using mathematical models
describe the design of different solar thermal systems and compare their suitability for different boundary conditions
calculate the storage capacity for different heat storage techniques and determine their suitability for given boundary conditions
analyze and explain the functioning of different designs of solar cookers, stoves, cooling systems, desalination methods and dryers
