An analysis has been carried out to find out the optimum operating temperature for solar Stirling power systems. The analysis has also clearly brought out the effect of solar collector design parameters, such as, concentration ratio, overall heat loss coefficient, and heat engine parameter on the ov

A theoretical numerical model of thermal transfer in a line-axis, symmetric, compound parabolic concentrating solar energy collector (CPC) is presented. The effect of the angle of axial inclination of an east-west aligned CPC and hence the effect of the latitudinal and tracking configuration of the
A graph of collector efficiency versus tube spacing was obtained experimentally for a flat-plate copper collector. The graph was found to be approximately linear. From its slope, the optimum tube spacing for maximum cost-effectiveness was estimated, using actual material costs. For Fiji prices it wa
