| Objectives |
After successfully engaging with the topics of this course, students will be able to
- desribe the fundamentals and modelling of solar radiation and irradiation
- describe the fundamentals and the operating principles of differnt types of solar energy systems,
- comprehend thermo-fluid dynamic modelling of solar thermal collectors,
- comprehend the modelling and calculation of natural convection flows due to solar irradiation,
- perform calculations for the covered energy systmes.
The level of mathematical modeling and analysis of the mentioned topics is comparable to the level of the textbooks: Duffie, Solar Engineering of Thermal Processes, Photovoltaics and Wind, 2020; und Mackay, Solar Energy, 2015
