Question:

The mean solar flux at the Earth’s surface is ~2.00 J cm–2 min–1. In a non-focusing solar collector, the temperature reaches a value of 79.5°C. A heat engine is operated using the collector as the hot reservoir and a cold reservoir at 298 K. Calculate the area of the collector needed to produce 1000. watts. Assume that the engine operates at the maximum Carnot efficiency.
