Abstract: This paper reports on an investigation of the optimisation of the performance of a spiral solar collector with respect to length and for different temperatures and flow rates. Empirical equations have been developed for predicting the temperature of the outgoing water--the inlet water being at 35°C, 25°C or 15°C--for various flow rates (6, 9, 18 or 36 kg/h).
