| Summary: | The article is devoted to the determination of thermal stresses in a flat plate solar collector and the calculation of its optimal size. The solution is found when moving to an elliptical coordinate system. The obtained result is useful because by varying the geometric shape of the cross-section, it is possible to reduce the level of thermal stresses that occur, and, consequently, to increase the reliability and durability of the solar collector design. |
