Review I Constants I Periodic Table Converting sunlight to electricity with solar cells has an efficiency of 15%. It's possible to achieve a higher efficiency (though currently at higher cost) by using concentrated sunlight as the hot reservoir of a heat engine. Each dish in (Figure 1) concentrates sunlight on one side of a heat engine, producing a hot-reservoir temperature of 600 °C. The cold reservoir, ambient air, is approximately 30 °C. The actual working efficiency of this device is...
Converting sunlight to electricity with solar cells has an efficiency of 15%. It's possible to achieve a higher efficiency (though currently at higher cost) by using concentrated sunlight as the hot reservoir of a heat engine. Each dish in the figure concentrates sunlight on one side of a heat engine, producing a hot-reservoir temperature of 510 degrees C. The cold reservoir, ambient air, is approximately 28 degrees C. The actual working efficiency of this device is 30%. What is the...

A newly proposed device for generating electricity from the sun is a heat engine in which the hot reservoir is created by focusing sunlight on a small spot on one side of the engine. The cold reservoir is ambient air at 20 degrees C. The designer claims that the efficiency will be 35%. What minimum hot-reservoir temperature, in degrees C, would be required to produce this efficiency?
