(25 pts) Estimate how much collector area and storage capacity would be required for an active solar hot-water system designed t

o supply the total needs for two four-person families, one living in Manchester, New Hampshire, where the latitude is 44+o north and the other in Albuquerque, New Mexico, at 35+o North. The heat capacity of water is about 4200 J/kgoC and the hot water supply temperature in both houses is 60oC (140oF). State and justify all additional assumptions made.

Answer:

The required  total area is 1.48 m²

Explanation:

Given that,

Latitude = 44+° N

New Mexico,

Latitude= 35+° N

Heat capacity = 4200 J/Kg°C

Temperature = 60°C

Let us assume the input temperature 22°C

Estimate volume of water 100 ltr for 4 person.

We need to calculate the heat

Using formula of heat

H=mc_{p}\Delta T

H=mc_{p}(T_{f}-T_{i})

Put the value into the formula

H=100\times4200\times(60-22)

H=15960\ KJ...(I)

Let solar radiation for 6 hours/day.

We need to calculate the total energy per unit area

Using formula of energy

E=1000\times6\times3600\ J/m^2

E=21600\ KJ/m^2

Let the efficiency of collector is 50 %

Then,  the total energy per unit area will be

E=21600\times\dfrac{50}{100}

E=10800\ KJ/m^2....(II)

We need to calculate the required total area

Using equation (I) and (II)

A=\dfrac{H}{E}

Where, H = heat

E = total energy

Put the value into the formula

A=\dfrac{15960}{10800}

A=1.48\ m^2

Hence, The required  total area is 1.48 m²

If a ball is rolling across a floor at a constant speed is it accelerating
KATRIN_1 [288]

You already told us that its speed is constant. That's one part of acceleration.

The other part of acceleration is the direction it's moving.

If it's rolling in a straight line, then there's no acceleration.

If it's curving left or right, then that's acceleration.

A sample of oxygen gas at 25.0°c has its pressure tripled while its volume is halved. What is the final temperature of the gas?
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

447 K

Explanation:

25 C = 25 + 273 = 298 K

Assuming ideal gas, we can apply the ideal gas law

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

T_2 = T_1\frac{P_2}{P_1}\frac{V_2}{V_1}

Since pressure is tripled, then P_2 / P_1 = 3. Volume is halved, then V_2 / V_1 = 0.5

T_2 = 298*3*0.5 = 447 K

A 14.0 gauge copper wire of diameter 1.628 mm carries a current of 12.0 mA . A) What is the potential difference across a 1.80 m
Serga [27]

Answer: a) 139.4 μV; b) 129.6 μV

Explanation: In order to solve this problem we have to use the Ohm law given by:

V=R*I whre R= ρ *L/A  where ρ;L and A are the resistivity, length and cross section of teh wire.

Then we have:

for cooper R=1.71 *10^-8* 1.8/(0.001628)^2= 11.61 * 10^-3Ω

and for silver R= 1.58 *10^-8* 1.8/(0.001628)^2=10.80 * 10^-3Ω

Finalle we calculate the potential difference (V) for both wires:

Vcooper=11.62* 10^-3* 12 * 10^-3=139.410^-6 V

V silver= 10.80 10^-3* 12 * 10^-3=129.6 10^-6 V

Liula [17]

Answer:

Magnetic field experienced = 4.5 × 10⁻⁴ T

Explanation:

The magnetic field around an infinite straight current-carrying wire at a distance r from the wire is given by

B = (μ₀I)/(2πr)

B = ?

I = 20 KA = 20000 A

r = 8.9 m

μ₀ = magnetic permeability = 1.257 × 10⁻⁶ T.m/A

B = (1.257 × 10⁻⁶ × 20000)/(2π×8.9) = 4.5 × 10⁻⁴ T
