pt) You have two solar hot water collectors on the roof, each is 4 feet by 8 feet. Assume the panels are 50% efficient. The panels receive about 300 BTU per hour per square foot, for a total of 5 hours. You have a hot water tank connected to the panels filled with 600 pounds of water, starting in the morning at 60 deg F. What will the water temperature be at the end of the 5 hours?
