Design of cylindrical solar water heater (SWH) using copper as solar collector

The demand for renewable energy throughout the world is increasing rapidly. Usage of solar water heater is one of the factors that cause the increased demand. There are many types of solar water heater (SWH) for example flat plat type and cylindrical type. The system can be active or passive. For an...
