Calculate theoretical minimum solar collector area required


A solar collector receives solar radiation at a rate of 0.315 kW per m2 and delivers the heat to a storage unit whose temperature remains a constant 500 K. A power cycle receives heat from the storage unit, generates electricity at the rate of 570 kW and discharges heat to the atmosphere (20°C). For operation at steady state, calculate the theoretical minimum solar collector area required.
