Study of stratification in a (ICSSWH) Integrated CollectorStorage Solar Water Heater. (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Junaidi, H., Henderson, D., Muneer, T., Grassie, T., & Currie, J. (2006). Study of stratification in a (ICSSWH) Integrated CollectorStorage Solar Water Heater.

Stratification inside the water storage tank of a solar heater is a desirable natural phenomenon that improves the collector output. For an ICS storage heater type, where the storage tank is in direct contact with the heating surface (absorber plate)...

Modelling of flow rate in a photovoltaic-driven roof slate-based solar ventilation air preheating system. (2006)
Journal Article
Odeh, N. A., Grassie, T., Henderson, D., & Muneer, T. (2006). Modelling of flow rate in a photovoltaic-driven roof slate-based solar ventilation air preheating system. Energy Conversion and Management, 47, 909-925. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enconman.2005.06.005

This paper describes the modelling of flow rate in a photovoltaic (PV) driven, roof slate based solar system for preheating ventilation air in cold climates. The system consists of a photovoltaic driven, attic mounted fan, which draws air through the...

Improved accuracy models for hourly diffuse solar radiation. (2006)
Journal Article
Muneer, T., & Munawwar, S. (2006). Improved accuracy models for hourly diffuse solar radiation. Journal of Solar Energy Engineering, 128, 104-117. https://doi.org/10.1115/1.2148972

Solar energy applications require readily available, site-oriented, and long-term solar data. However, the frequent unavailability of diffuse irradiation, in contrast to its need, has led to the evolution of various regression models to predict it fr...
