Description:

Solar engine is discussed as integration of solar collector with linear heat loss and Curzon-Ahlborn engine is considered. This simple endoreversible model is used to discuss some applications of results of endoreversible heat engine in the field of solar engine. Optimum operating temperature of the solar collector and relevant maximum overall efficiency of solar engine is calculated, the results being compared with those by the models where Carnot and Curzon-Ahlborn efficiences were used. Conclusions obtained for endoreversible model are used for simple optimal design of solar engine. The size of heat engine for a given solar collector is optimized. The investment costs of solar collector and heat engine per unit of output power are used as optimization criterion. and Obsahuje seznam literatury
