How to calculate heat transfer from a solar energy? 1

[fara]

hi!i will be having a presentantion based on thermodynamics.I need to know if there's any suggestion in which case studies should i present ?I think it is better to present about heat transfers from any solar systems but i don't have enough information.I want also the equations for the heat transfer.and finally,how to calculate heat transfer from a solar energy?Is there any formula?Should i calculate it using the heat engines equation?

There's roughly 1120 watts/m^2 of solar energy hitting the upper atmosphere.

IRstuff is right the solar heat radiation at the ground is nearly 1000 W/m^2. For more information visit the German website

getting a fine overwiew of the radiation spectrum of the sun and a top-50 solar-energy-link-site.

Hi,

Any English webpage related on this subject that you know? I am interested in solar energy concept and would like to learn more from internet "I am convinced that ATTITUDE is the key to success or failure in
almost any of life's endeavors. "
Success = 99% ATTITUDE + 1% knowledge

We are talking about technical data here (Tables and so on). An English data-table is like a German - perhaps the units will be different. If there are problems to understand, You should download a free German-English (D->E) and English-German (E->D) wordbook (QuickDic 5.2) at

(University of Hamburg-Bergedorf) to look for the main expressions.
