Question
If the energy received by 5 m2 area in 10 minutes is 4200 kJ, calculate the value of solar constant.
Solution
Area = 5 m2
Time = 10 min = 10 × 60 sec = 600 sec
Energy = 4200 kJ
Therefore,
solar constant = Energy/(Time × Area)
= 4200/(5 × 600) kJ/s/m2
= 4200/(3000) kJ/s/m2
=1.4 kJ/s/m2
=1.4 kW/m2
