Author(s) : BADESCU V.

Type of article: Article

Summary

Describes a study of the performance of a solar-powered heat engine operating in a Stirling or Ericsson cycle. Considers the influence of design and climate parameters on both the optimum solar receiver temperature and overall efficiency. The design parameters considered are: concentration ratio, effective absorptance-transmittance product for solar radiation, overall heat loss coefficient and receiver emissivity. Climate parameters considered are solar radiation and the ambient temperature.
