13.1 Estimate how much collector area and storage capacity would be required for an active solar hot-water system designed to supply the total needs for two four-person families, one living in Manchester, New Hampshire, where the latitude is 44+ ° N, and the other in Albuquerque, New Mexico, at 35+ ° N. The heat capacity of water is about 4,200 J/kg ° C, and the hot-water supply temperature in both houses is 75 ° C (140 ° F). State and justify all additional assumptions made
