... it is contained in. Existing methods to heat margarine have a high hourly cost of production and use fossil fuels which have been shown to have a negative impact on the environment. Thus, we perform an analytical feasibility study of using solar thermal power as an alternative energy source for the margarine...

.... Editor: Manuel Romero Alvarez. 21 08 2011 23 12 2012 This paper reports theoretical efficiencies of single Brayton and combined Brayton–Rankine thermodynamic power cycles for distributed solar thermal power generation. Thermodynamic analyses are conducted with a nominal heat input...
