model for solar collector

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

hi...
I have some problems to the analysis of solar collector
I apply the model are as follows : (please see the attached image)

I used two models

<heat transfer in solids model>
1. external radiation source :

2. surface to surface radiation :
- radiation direction : negative nomal direction
heat flux :
- 0 w/m^2

3. thermal insulation

4. thermal insulation
- this boundary is overlap in the area of two (concrete area, water area)
- should i change the boundary condition?

<laminar flow model>
1. wall
2. inlet : 0.1m/s
outlet

...but errors occured

my models right?
my bounday condition right?

if i change the model or bounday condition. please teach me...
you do not try to read me the manual, Of course I read the tuterial (cavity_radiation)
but I don't understand this problem
