Concentrating solar power (CSP) plants use mirrors to concentrate the sun's energy to drive traditional steam turbines or engines that create electricity. The thermal energy concentrated in a CSP plant can be stored and used to produce electricity when it is needed, day or night. Today, roughly 1,815 megawatts (MWac) of CSP plants are in operation in the United States.
Parabolic Trough
Parabolic trough systems use curved mirrors to focus the sun’s energy onto a receiver tube that runs down the center of a trough. In the receiver tube, a high-temperature heat transfer fluid (such as a synthetic oil) absorbs the sun’s energy, reaching temperatures of 750°F or higher, and passes through a heat exchanger to heat water and produce steam. The steam drives a conventional steam turbine power system to generate electricity. A typical solar collector field contains hundreds of parallel rows of troughs connected as a series of loops, which are placed on a north-south axis so the troughs can track the sun from east to west. Individual collector modules are typically 15-20 feet tall and 300-450 feet long.
Compact Linear Fresnel Reflector
CLFR uses the principles of curved-mirror trough systems, but with long parallel rows of lower-cost flat mirrors. These modular reflectors focus the sun's energy onto elevated receivers, which consist of a system of tubes through which water flows. The concentrated sunlight boils the water, generating high-pressure steam for direct use in power generation and industrial steam applications.
Answer:
(a). the resultant force in the direction of the freestream velocity is termed the drag and the resultant force normal to the freestream velocity is termed the lift
Explanation:
When a fluid flows around the surface of an object, it exerts a force on it. This force has two components, namely lift and drag.
The component of this force that is perpendicular (normal) to the freestream velocity is known as lift, while the component of this force that is parallel or in the direction of the fluid freestream flow is known as drag.
Lift is as a result of pressure differences, while drag results from forces due to pressure distributions over the object surface, and forces due to skin friction or viscous force.
Thus, drag results from the combination of pressure and viscous forces while lift results only from the<em> pressure differences</em> (not pressure forces as was used in option D).
The only correct option left is "A"
(a). the resultant force in the direction of the freestream velocity is termed the drag and the resultant force normal to the freestream velocity is termed the lift
Answer:
1090 Steel >1040 Steel > Pure aluminium >Diamond.
Explanation:
Toughness:
Toughness can be define as the are of load -deflection diagram up to fracture point.
Modulus of toughness can be defines as the area of stress-strain diagram up to fracture point.Modulus of toughness is the property of material.
So the decreasing order of toughness can be given as follows
1090 Steel >1040 Steel > Pure aluminium >Diamond.

Answer:
Technician A
Explanation:
Galvanic corrosion is not on only one metal alone but caused when two metals are interacting. Thus, Duplicating the original installation method is a better option because re-using a coated bolt doesn't prevent galvanic corrosion because both materials must be coated and not just the bolt and in technician B's case he is coating just the bolt. Thus, technician B's method will not achieve prevention of galvanic corrosion but technician A's method will achieve it.
