<p><Why the outlet temperature of solar collector (type 1b) same as temperature ambient when there is no mass flow rate and irradiance. As you can see in the table below, ToColl = Tambient)</p>
<p>If you leave water inside a solar collector and there is no radiation incident upon the surface and no water flow, it will quickly degrade towards the ambient temperature. Type1b has no mass (unlike the Tess Type 539) so it immediately decays to the ambient temperature.</p>
<p><How TRNSYS calculate the outlet temperature of the solar collector if there is no mass flow rate, but only the irradiance available?></p>
<p>It solves the same energy balance as it does when there is flow. The no-flow solution is found when the solar gains match the thermal losses from the collector (absorbed energy = losses).</p>
