In the present study, Axially Grooved Heat Pipe Type Solar Collector using a Glass Concentric Evacuated Tube was investigated experimentally under the field conditions of Jinju, Korea. The mathematical models of two-phase flow in grooved heat pipe are presented for the capillary limitation in steady state. Experimental study has been carried out to find out thermal characteristics of grooved heat pipe applied to the solar collectors. The experimental result shows that the heat transfer performance of heat pipe is improved with increasing the heat input and coolant temperature. Also that has been accomplished to find out thermal characteristics of grooved heat pipe applied to the solar collectors. This paper is to analyze thermal performance data and simulation modeling for the rating of SDHWS using TRANSYS.
