N2  - The mean fluid temperature in a solar collector is often approximated by the average of the inlet and outlet temperatures. When this is done a simpler expression for the collector flow factor can be derived, the use of which permits the formal proof that collector efficiency will decrease with any maldistribution of fluid flow in the risers of the collector.
