Design and construction of a solar water heater for domestic use Department: Mechanical Engineering By: Arinze1 Project ID: 5573 Rating: (3.3) votes: 6Rate this project12345 Price:₦2000 Get the Complete MaterialAbstractProducing a substitute to the use of an electric heater for producing steam, a healthy and environmentally friendly source of producing steam leads to the design and construction of a solar heater for domestic use which can generate steam of 0.5 kg at about 100oc 30 minutes, using parabolic trough collector. The solar heater consists of two collectors in order to attain this desired temperature. The collector heats the water to a temperature of 100oc in a maximum of 15 minutes. Solar energy is a reliable, free attractive, and non-polluting source of energy. In order to find a substitute for the production of steam by an electric steam heater, this solar heater is constructed and remains to be tested manually and automatically using the design it has been constructed. By increasing the rim angle, the efficiency is also improved. The solar heater will be very effective and efficient during clear days. ...Preview Download Preview +Other Mechanical Engineering project topics and materials you might be interested in»A project report on the design and construction of adjustable drawing table and stool»Design, construction and testing of beans threshing machine»Design and fabrication of groundnut shelling machine»Design and construction of adjustable drawing table and stool»The design and assembling of a tricycle engine (Paggio)»Design and construction of a pneumatic water pumping machine»Design and fabrication of electrical motorized bicycle wheelchair»Design of an indirect evaporative cooling system for preserving perishable farm produce»Modern washing machine, principles of operation and maintenance»Fabrication and construction of window burglar proof»Design and fabrication of domestic deep freezer»Design and construction of journal bearing demonstration rig»Construction and fabrication of charcoal oven»Fabrication of a pepper grinding machine»Fabrication of an industrial trolley
