Performance Analysis and Optimization of a Solar Powered Stirling Engine with Heat Transfer Considerations
This paper investigates the optimization of the performance of a solar powered Stirling engine based on finite-time thermodynamics. Heat transference in the heat exchangers between a concentrating solar collector and the Stirling engine is studied. The irreversibility of a Stirling engine is conside...
