RESULTS & DISCUSSION<br />
To solve all of the non-linear equations, Engineering Equation Solver (EES) software is used.<br />
EES is an equation solver software that can iteratively solve thousands of linear or non-linear<br />
equations simultaneously. It has built in libraries <strong>for</strong> thermodynamic and fluid transport<br />
properties, thus it is widely used in the Mechanical Engineering field. It can also solve<br />
differential and integral equations, which is helpful <strong>for</strong> the optimization of parameters <strong>for</strong> the<br />
<strong>solar</strong> thermal <strong>bubble</strong> <strong>pump</strong> <strong>water</strong> heating <strong>system</strong>s.<br />
