Heat transfer characteristic simulation of solar heating reservoirs

Taking the solar heating system design of an industrial garden area in Tibet as an example, presents the calculation method of the heat collecting plate area and the thermal storage tank volume of the solar heating system. Based on the finite element analysis, sets up a physical and mathematical model of three-dimensional unsteady heat transfer of a heating reservoir, and analyses the reservoir temperature field and water temperature change rules under the three operation conditions, such as heat storage, heat extraction, heat storage-extraction, using Matlab software. Optimizes the heating reservoir design by numerical simulation. The study results provide references for application and development of solar heating system.
