The large number of developments are continuously being carried out in the field of cover materials, absorber materials and glazing coating etc. along with the changes in the design and circulating fluid. The studies have been carried out on thermal performance evaluation of solar water heater and found more increase in the thermal efficiency in comparison to conventional solar water heater. In this paper energy equation for heat transfer of two-dimensional fluid flow of the cylindrical parabolic collector have been considered and collector efficiency factor, collector heat removal factor, and collector overall heat loss coefficient are used to evaluate the thermal performance of collector and to study the effect of fixed mass flow rate with variation of incident solar radiation. The experimental study was conducted at Department of Mechanical Engineering, Poornima University, Jaipur to analyzed the effects of all the operating parameters on the system performance in order to obtain the optimum performance of the system. The system gives the maximum efficiency of 48.26 % with outlet temperature of 83°C of water and 53°C of storage tank water. Number of Carbon Credits that we can earn by saving monthly 2018602620 kWh of Electricity i.e. saving 2119532.751 tonnes of CO2. The results obtained can help engineers in the evaluation of the existing real systems and design of future system.
