Calculations:
Assumptions:• Steady state condition• On a normal sunny day ambient temperature is 25 °C• Temperature of input water is 20 °C (Tap water)• Thickness of plastic bottle (0.03mm) is negligible means no conduction from
surroundings to water, there will be only radiation.• Velocity of water inlet is 0.05m/s

Resistance Circuit Diagram:There will be three processes:
Steps Involved In Calculations:1) Heat transfer into water ()2) Value of heat transfer Co-efficient (h)3) Area of bottle4) Rise in temperature of water5) Heat loss6) Efficiency

Heat transfer into water:
Value of h for water:Value of h can be calculated using Nu no:
To find Nu number use following eq:
![Page 6: Design, Calculation and ANSYS analysis of a solar geyser made using plastic bottles](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050900/587411911a28abcb5b8b4753/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
And Gr no is: Taking value of Pr No from table at 20°C
By putting all these values value oh h is 737.46Rise in Temperature of Water:
Area of bottle is calculated by formula:
T=32.55°CTemperature Difference=°C
