Abstract: We have combined aspects of the two best models of Morrison and Braun in order to simulate the performance of thermosyphon solar water heaters and develop a fixed-node, equally-convecting-mixing model. Our model has wider application limits than the originals. We have performed experiments and found that our model is superior to the original models.
