Textbook Question
Chapter 10.9, Problem 119RP
A solar collector system delivers heat to a power plant. It is well known that the thermal collection efficiency ηsc of a solar collector diminishes with increasing solar collection output temperature TH, or ηsc = A – BTH where A and B are known constants. The thermal efficiency of the power plant ηth is a fixed fraction of the Carnot thermal efficiency, such that ηth = F(1 – TL/TH) where F is a known constant assumed here independent of temperatures and TL is the condenser temperature, also constant for this problem. Here, the solar collection temperature TH is also taken to be the source temperature for the power plant.
- (a) At what temperature TH should the solar collector be operated to obtain the maximum overall system efficiency?
- (b) Develop an expression for the maximum overall system efficiency.

A spring package with two springs and an external force, 200N. The short spring has a loin of 35 mm. Constantly looking for spring for short spring so that total compression is 35 mm (d). Known values: Long spring: Short spring:C=3.98 N/mm Lo=65mmLo=87.4mmF=c·fTotal compression is same for both spring. 200 = (3.98(c1) × 35) + (c₂ × 35)
200 = 139.3 + 35c₂
200 - 139.3 = 35c₂
60.7 = 35c₂
c₂ = 60.7/35
Short spring (c₂) = 1.73 N/mm
According to my study book, the correct answer is 4.82N/mm
