Figure P8.13 provides steady-state operating data for a solar power plant that operates on a Rankine cycle with Refrigerant 134a as its working fluid. The turbine and pump operate adiabatically. The rate of energy input to the collectors from solar radiation is by the refrigerant as it passes through the collectors. Determine the solar collector surface area, in m' per kW of power developed by the plant.

Transcribed Image Text:Figure P8.13 provides steady-state operating data for a solar power
plant that operates on a Rankine cycle with Refrigerant 134a as its working fluid. The turbine
and pump operate adiabatically. The rate of energy input to the collectors from solar radiation is
0.3 kW per m² of collector surface area, with 60% of the solar input to, the collectors absorbed
by the refrigerant as it passes through the collectors. Determine the solar collector surface area,
in m per kW of power developed by the plant.
= 0.3 kW/m?
