Finite-Time Thermoeconomic Optimization of a Solar-Driven Heat Engine Model

Finite-Time Thermoeconomic Optimization of a Solar-Driven Heat Engine Model

In the present paper, the thermoeconomic optimization of an irreversible solar-driven heat engine model has been carried out by using finite-time/finite-size thermodynamic theory. In our study we take into account losses due to heat transfer across finite time temperature differences, heat leakage b...
