摘要
The paper proposes a model of a space power station composed of a Curzon-Ahlborn engine driven by the heat flux supplied by a solar collector. Both design and operational optimizations are envisaged. Universal graphs are drawn for the optimum ratio between the collector and radiator area and for a non-dimensional maximum power. A brief comparison between the three usual types of mirrors (conical, parabolic cylinder and paraboloidal) is performed. The differences between the performances obtained by using a Curzon-Ahlborn and an ideal Carnot engine, respectively, are outlined.
