First Law Comparison of a Forced-Circulation Solar Water Heating System with an Identical Thermosyphon

The main categories of solar water heating systems (SWHSs) are the thermosyphon and the forced circulation (FC). This paper presents an experiment carried out with the aim to compare the energy performance of the FC with a thermosyphon SHWS. Identical SWHSs were installed side by side at the Univers...
