A solar collector design consists of an inner tube enclosed concentrically in an outer tube that is transparent to solar radiation. The tubes are thin walled with inner and outer diameters of 0.10 and 0.15 m, respectively. The annular space between the tubes is completely enclosed and filled with air at atmos- pheric pressure. Under operating conditions for which the inner and outer tube surface temperatures are 70 and 30°C, respectively, what is the convective heat loss per meter of tube length across the air space?
