    What is the efficiency of a solar collector made of an aluminium canister?

    No its not actually my coursework investigation, and isn't really required, but i want to do this anyway... Its not in the textbooks, nor the A2 syllabus, but it shows that i have researched, which i have...

    What is the efficiency of a solar collector made of an aluminium canister?

    Hi there, As part of my A2 physics coursework investigation, i want to calculate the efficiency of an aluminium canister modeled as a solar collector. The basic set up of the apparatus is: - Lamp (40W light bulb) at a fixed distance of 5cm away from the aluminium canister (which is...

    Undergrad Calculating Energy Received by Water-Antifreeze Solution

    Thank you for your reply Mapes. Unfortunately i have used the allocated time for my experiment and so cannot further investigate - i actually wished i could now! The detail you have go into is way past A2 level (A level), but I am sure, that with such poor data gatherings, that with some...

    Undergrad Calculating Energy Received by Water-Antifreeze Solution

    Hi there, As part of my A2 physics coursework, i need to calculate the energy received by a water-antifreeze solution. Basic setup: Lamp with 40W light bulb at a distance of 5cm away from an aluminium canister, which is filled with 100ml of water-glycol solution (at different...
