Abstract
⺠We study the amount of energy available in a water storage tank with open side inlets. ⺠We experimentally investigate thermal mixing caused by the inflow. ⺠We propose a modelling that predicts the amount and temperature of water in the tank. ⺠We simulate the temperature evolution of the tank included in a solar installation. ⺠The difference between predicted and measured outflow temperatures is less than 3 °C.
