The hot water needs of a household are to be met by heating liquid water at 58[F] to 212[F] by a parabolic solar collector at a rate of 3.0 lbm/s. Water flows through a 3-indiameter thin aluminum tube whose outer surface is blackanodized in order to maximize its solar absorption ability. The centerline of the tube coincides with the focal line of the collector, and a glass sleeve is placed outside the tube to minimize the heat losses. If solar energy is transferred to water at a net rate of 300 Btu/hr per ft length of the tube, determine the required length of the parabolic collector to meet the hot water requirements of this house in [ft] or [m]. Also, determine the surface temperature of the tube at the exit in [F] or [C].
