N2  - An isothermal one-dimensional flow model is used to calculate the flow distribution across the manifold of a flat plate solar collector in order to quantify the effect of a non-uniform flow distribution on the thermal efficiency for a variety of manifold geometries. The predictions of this flow model are found to compare favourably with measured isothermal flow distributions.
