A solar dish-engine system has single cylinder Stirling engine mounted on the focus of the solar dish 1 m in diameter. The dish receives solar irradiance which is 60% the solar constant. The highest temperature in the receiver is 10 times more than the surrounding temperature of 25° C. Calculate: a) solar power collected by parabolic dish b) Carnot efficiency of the Stirling engine c) Theoretical maximum mechanical power produced by the engine d) The concentration ratio of the dish if the receiver diameter is 15 cm

Question
A solar dish-engine system has single
cylinder Stirling engine mounted on the focus
of the solar dish 1 m in diameter. The dish
receives solar irradiance which is 60% the
solar constant. The highest temperature in
the receiver is 10 times more than the
surrounding temperature of 25° C. Calculate:
a)
solar power collected by parabolic dish
b)
Carnot efficiency of the Stirling engine
c)
Theoretical maximum mechanical power
produced by the engine
d) The concentration ratio of the dish if the
receiver diameter is 15 cm
