RODRIGUEZ MEJIA, Jeovany Rafael et al. Design of a solar flat plate collector. Energética [online]. 2016, vol.37, n.1, pp. 15-24. ISSN 1815-5901.

In this article the use of mechanical design software and an algorithm for simulating the operation of a flat plate solar collector, with the objective of simplifying the process of design and manufacture of the latter is integrated. The simulation results of the operation of the solar collector considering different combinations in the parameters of the materials used, such as its physicochemical properties and features in addition to the variation of the dimensions of the system design are set. The article finally evaluates the operation of a solar collector for typical climatic conditions of irradiance, wind speed and ambient temperature from a series of sinusoidal, typical Cuba curves is evaluated, validating the feasibility of the algorithm as support in step design and material selection.
