The performance of several solar collector configurations has been predicted using both inappropriate and appropriate relations to evaluate the wind-related heat transfer coefficient. The combinations analyzed are: one or two covers and a selectively absorbing surface coating, and one or two covers and a nonselectively absorbing surface coating all collectors are of the basic liquid heating type. It is shown that the optimum results are obtained by using a global correlation equation proposed by Sparrow et al. (1979).
