Optimization analysis of solar-powered average temperature Stirling heat engine

This paper investigates the performance of the solar powered dish-Stirling engine using the nonlinearized heat loss model of the solar dish collector and the irreversible cycle model of the Stirling engine. Finite time thermodynamic analysis is used to investigate the influence of the finite-rate he...
