The diagram above is supposed to represent 3 lightbulbs connected in series. The vertical lines in the middle are supposed to be a battery which powers the three light bulbs. If you put a voltmeter across one of the lightbulbs, it will read a voltage that is 1/3 of the voltage of the battery.

Answer

That reading you get across the one light bulb is The Voltage Drop.

What are the optical properties of steel

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

A selective surface with large absorption for solar radiation and high reflectance for thermal infrared radiation was produced by use of surface oxidation of stainless steel. The surfaces were studied for use with concentrated light in a solar power plant at temperatures of 400°C and higher.

In order to investigate the relation between surface treatment and optical properties, stainless steels (AISI 304 and 430) which were submitted to different chemical and mechanical surface treatments, were used. To increase the spectral selectivity, these surfaces were treated in air and in vacuum at different temperatures and times. The optical properties of these films were investigated. Visual and infrared spectral absorptances were measured at room temperature. The thermal hemispherical emittance and absorptance were obtained by a calorimetric method at 200°C. It was noticed that these chemically and mechanically treated stainless steel surfaces have good spectral properties without further oxidations. This is very important for high temperature uses. The best values are found for samples 7 and 8 under vacuum and air. These two samples with mechanically ground surfaces retained their selectivity and specularity after several hours oxidation. One can conclude that the surface ground treatment confers good selectivity on the steel surfaces for use in concentrating solar collectors with a working temperature of 500°C.

Sample surfaces were subjected to long temperature ageing tests in order to gain some idea of the thermal stability of the surfaces. The results promise better-performing surface and the production of durable selective finishes at, possibly, lower cost than competing processes.

Refrigerant-134a at 700 kPa, 70°C, and 7.2 kg/min is cooled by water in a condenser until it exists as a saturated liquid at the

alex41 [277]

Answer:

The mass flow rate of cooling water required to cool the refrigerant is $123.788\,\frac{kg}{min}$ .

Explanation:

A condenser is a heat exchanger used to cool working fluid (Refrigerant 134a) at the expense of cooling fluid (water), which works usually at steady state. Let suppose that there is no heat interactions between condenser and surroundings.The condenser is modelled after the First Law of Thermodynamics, which states:

$\dot Q_{ref} - \dot Q_{w} = 0$

$\dot Q_{ref} = \dot Q_{w}$

$\dot m_{ref}\cdot (h_{ref, in} - h_{ref,out}) = \dot m_{w}\cdot (h_{w, out} - h_{w,in})$

The mass flow rate of the cooling water is now cleared:

$\dot m_{w} = \dot m_{ref }\cdot \frac{h_{ref,in}-h_{ref,out}}{h_{w,out}-h_{w,in}}$

Given that $h_{ref,in} = 808.34\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$ , $h_{ref, out} = 88.82\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$ , $h_{w,out} = 104.83\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$ and $h_{w,in} = 62.98\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$ , the mass flow of the cooling water is:

$\dot m_{w} = \left(7.2\,\frac{kg}{min} \right)\cdot \left(\frac{808.34\,\frac{kJ}{kg}-88.82\,\frac{kJ}{kg} }{104.83\,\frac{kJ}{kg}-62.98\,\frac{kJ}{kg} } \right)$

$\dot m_{w} = 123.788\,\frac{kg}{min}$

The mass flow rate of cooling water required to cool the refrigerant is $123.788\,\frac{kg}{min}$ .
