Abstract
A thermal analysis has been developed for a collector cum system for q uasi-steady-state conditions using phase change materials. Performance equations of the Hottel-Whillier-Bliss type for flat-plate collector cum storage system have been obtained. Calculations have been performe d for a wide range of parameters to investigate the applicability of t he developed mathematical model.
