        abstract = {Solar water heating (SWH) uses a solar thermal collector to convert sunlight into heat for water heating. A sun-facing collector warms a working fluid, which is then stored for later use. A detailed assessment of the utilization of solar energy for hot water generation utilizing evacuated tube collectors’ technology has been conducted in this work. Solar energy in a hot water-producing system using Evacuated Tube Collector would assist in enhancing energy economics, consumption, and efficiency. 
The evacuated tube collector with heat pipe was modeled in Creo parametric software and analyzed in ANSYS software at different mass flow rates (0.057 and 0.177 kg/s) and varied temperatures throughout the day in this thesis 9 am to 5 pm). For an evacuated tube collector with a heat pipe, CFD analysis was used to calculate the pressure drop, velocity, mass flow rate, heat transfer coefficient, and heat transfer rate. Thermometric study to measure temperature distribution and heat flow at various temperatures throughout the day (9 am to 5 pm).},
