Abstract

The difference in level between the top of the solar collector and the bottom of the storage tank is one of the parameters that can be used to improve the performance of a solar collector that operates by thermosiphon. The present research studies the influence of this factor on the criterion of entransy destroyed. The results of our analyzes showed that the distance between the top of the solar collector and the bottom of the storage tank recommended for a better performance is 1.1 m according to the entransy destroyed criterion.
