                               ABSTRACT
     An analysis of an operational industrial acetone reclamation system is performed to ascertain the possibility of its adaptation to solar thermal energy augmentation using fixed orientation, flat plate solar collectors …
     Analytical models of two possible configurations utilizing a series of commercially available, flat plate solar collectors, a hot water storage tank, and an oil fired auxiliary are developed. The resulting differential equation is written in finite difference form and integrated with an iterative numerical algorithm. Program listings are included for the solution of this problem on a Texas Instruments, SR-56 programmable calculator.
…
…Selection of these parameters was based on the physical requirements of the particular system modeled and the practical requirements for solution on a hand held programmable calculator. …

     The advent of the programmable pocket calculator has afforded a convenient solution to equation (13). Figures III-4 and III-5 represent the process 1 and process 2 simulation flow diagrams respectively. The solutions have been obtained with a Texas Instruments, SR-56 programmable calculator. Both simulations are begun by inputing an average storage media temperature estimation …
