Thermoeconomic Optimum Operation Conditions of a Solar-driven Heat Engine Model

In the present paper, the thermoeconomic optimization of an endoreversible solardriven heat engine has been carried out by using finite-time/finite-size thermodynamic theory. In the considered heat engine model, the heat transfer from the hot reservoir to the working fluid is assumed to be the radia...
