Question:

The following schematic diagram for a solar-driven irrigation pump was developed by Battelle Memorial Institute and uses tracking PTCs. Solar energy is used to heat the water in the collectors to \(423 \mathrm{~K}\), which then vaporizes an organic working fluid that powers the pump-turbine. Calculate the surface area needed to power a \(50 \mathrm{hp}\) pump capable of delivering up to \(38,000 \mathrm{~L} / \mathrm{min}\) of water at noon in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
