Summary:

The effects of thermal stratification in a water storage tank on the performance of a hot water solar application are quantitatively studied by using the TRNSYS computer simulation code with a fully mixed and a fully stratified storage tank model. To minimize the cost of the experiment, the existing solar heating system is being used for the experimental study. Plans and diagrams of the facilities are shown and modifications are discussed.
