Abstract
A new derivation of the maximum conversion efficiency for a continuous, steady-flow radiation conversion process is given. Using basic thermodynamic considerations only, this theoretical efficiency is shown to be the Carnot efficienty. Other existing conversion efficiencies give smaller values, because they suffer from constraints which are discussed in detail.
