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:All of the above
Explanation:
9.62 psi means 497.49 mm of Hg pressure
for (a)19.58 inches is equals to 497.49 mm of Hg
(b)atmospheric pressure is 14.69 psi
vaccum gauge is 9.62psi
absolute pressure is=14.69-9.62=5.07
(c)vaccum means air is sucked and there is negative pressure so it tells about below atmospheric pressure.
thus all are correct
Answer:
Only Technician B is right.
Explanation:
The cylindrical braking system for a car works through the mode of pressure transmission, that is, the pressure applied to the brake pedals, is transmitted to the brake pad through the cylindrical piston.
Pressure applied on the pedal, P(pedal) = P(pad)
And the Pressure is the applied force/area for either pad or pedal. That is, P(pad) = Force(pad)/A(pad) & P(pedal) = F(pedal)/A(pedal)
If the area of piston increases, A(pad) increases and the P(pad) drops, Meaning, the pressure transmitted to the pad reduces. And for most cars, there's a pressure limit for the braking system to work.
If the A(pad) increases, P(pad) decreases and the braking force applied has to increase, to counter balance the dropping pressure and raise it.
This whole setup does not depend on the length of the braking lines; it only depends on the applied force and cross sectional Area (size) of the piston.
If it is. DC, direct current reverse the polarity of power leads on the motor.
If it is a 3 phase ac alternating current, reverse any of the two of three leads.
Disconnect power before attempting.
Maximum shear stress in the pole is 0.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Given-
Outer diameter = 127 mm
Outer radius,
= 127/2 = 63.5 mm
Inner diameter = 115 mm
Inner radius, 
= 115/2 = 57.5 mm
Force, q = 0
Maximum shear stress, τmax = ?
τmax 
If force, q is 0 then τmax is also equal to 0.
Therefore, maximum shear stress in the pole is 0.
