10th lowest value in 12 months of daily solar radiation (horizontal) is in October monthHg= 4.42 kWh/m2-day = 15912 kJ/ m2-dayThis 10th lowest value is taken because to get the required results from the setup as we decided to operate this system for maximum 10 months.

• Declination angle, δ = 23.45 sin ; where n is the day of the year, for 15th October n = 288• So, δ = 23.45 sin ;• δ = -9.6o
• We know, Latitude ф = 13.083o
• Solar angle s = cos-1 (-tan δ * tan ф)• So, s =87.75o

• Now, Daily extra terrestrial radiation(Ho)• Ho = kJ/m2 –day• Isc=1.367 kW/m2
• Substituting all the values we get, Ho= 34175.83 kJ/m2-day• Now, Monthly average of daily diffuse radiation (Hd) • = 1.411 – 1.696• Substituting all the values we get, Hd = 9887.38 kJ/m2-day

Tilt angle (β)• β -= ф – δ;• We take as 0degree as to get average of the day as the collector is
fixed at a particular angle.• β = 23o

Daily radiation on a tilted surface (Ht)
•
• Where, Rb = • st = = 91.69o
• Substituting all the values we get, Rb =1.1275• Rd = = 0.9603;• Rr = = 0.00795; ρ = 0.2• So, using all the above values we get, Ht = 16414.11 kJ/m2-day

Monthly average hourly global radiation (Io)
•
• a = 0.459 + [0.5016;• a = 0.6926• b = 0.6609 – 0.4767;• b = 0.4389• and, Io = = kJ/m2 –hr• = 60o
• Substituting all the values we get, Io = 0.6097 kJ/m2 – hr

Monthly average hourly diffuse radiation (Id)
• Where,• a` = 0.4922 +{} for 0.1 ≤ ≤ 0.7• = 0.6214;• So, a` = 0.942;• b` = • b` = -0.1140• Substituting all the values we get, Id = 561.97 kJ/m2 – hr• Now, Ig = Id + Ib
• We already calculated Ig and Id
• So, Ib = 370.06 kJ/m2 – hr

• For tilted collector surface incident radiation (It)• It = IbRb + IdRd + (Ib + Id)Rr
• We already know all the values for calculating It
• So, It = 964.312 kJ/m2 – hr• S = IbRb(τα)b + {IdRd + (Ib + Id)Rr}(τα)d
• Also, • γ = 0o
• So, = 0.5144• θ = 59.04o
• θ = θ1 (Incident angle)• Now, = ; n2 =1.42
