OSTI ID:5352060

The research described is a continuing effort on development of methods of predicting the performance of solar thermal processes and designing those processes. The research included system analysis studies and development of the TRNSYS simulation program, resulting in a version with several major innovations. Also included was TRNSYS and FCHART user services. Substantial progress is reported on development of design procedures for a variety of solar thermal processes. Data on operation of experimental systems became available from several sources and were used in comparisons of predicted and experimental performance. For each area of activity, related papers published are listed. (LEW)
