Calculate heat loss from the solar collector to the air


A rectangular solar thermal collector sits on the roof of a house (only one side is exposed to air and solar radiation losses may be ignored. ) The solar collector is a 2.5 m by 8 m flat plate with a temperature of 80 C. Air at 1 atm and 15 C blows parallel to the 8m side at a velocity of 6 m/s. Determine the heat loss from the solar collector to the air, and the drag force on the solar collector from the wind.
