【 摘 要 】

This work describes the developed of a lumped parameter model and demonstrates its practical application. The lumpedparameter mathematical model is a useful instrument to be used for rapid determination of design dimensions andoperational performance of solar collectors at the designing stage. Such model which incorporates data from relevantComputational Fluid Dynamics design and experimental investigations can provide an acceptable accuracy inpredictions and can be used as an effective design tool. A computer algorithm validates the lumped parameter model viaa window environment program.
