Isaac Feldman

What is this project?

This project is a web-based data visulaization to try and pick the best solar water heater option for the Solar Stove Project.

Main Goals:

  • Simulate the payback period and other factors to compare different solar water heaters

Notes:

P = R / T Payback period = Reduction in cost of wood / total cost of system

Variables:

  • Glazed Plate Panels
    • Required Delta T
    • Panel Model
    • Panel Efficiency
    • Model Cost
      • Panel Cost
      • Tank Cost
      • [PV powered pump]
  • DC/PV Panel Water Heater System
  • Water Tank
    • Thermal Resistivity
    • Size of Tank

Maths:

TODO:

  • work out the maths
  • offline version (spreadsheet based?)
  • online version
