Answer:

Explanation:

Simply put, a solar panel works by allowing photons, or particles of light, to knock electrons free from atoms, generating a flow of electricity. Solar panels actually comprise many, smaller units called photovoltaic cells. (Photovoltaic simply means they convert sunlight into electricity. The attached diagram give an ilustsration of the photovotaic pannel mounted on a roof top.

Solution

To Determine the electric power generated for

a) A still summer day.

E = A * r * H * PR

E = Total Amount of Energy in kilowatt

A = Total Surface Area

r = efficiency Rating

H = global radiation value

PR = Performance Ratio

kwh = watt * Time/1000

kwh = 100 * 35/1000

3.5

kwh = watt * Time/1000

kwh = 30 *15/1000

Answer:

$\mathbf{\tau_c =5.675 \ MPa}$

Explanation:

Given that:

The direction of the applied tensile stress =[001]

direction of the slip plane = [ $\bar 1$ 01]

normal to the slip plane = [111]

Now, the first thing to do is to calculate the angle between the tensile stress and the slip by using the formula:

$cos \lambda = \Big [\dfrac{d_1d_2+e_1e_2+f_1f_2}{\sqrt{(d_1^2+e_1^2+f_1^2)+(d_2^2+e_2^2+f_2^2) }} \Big]$

where;

$[d_1\ e_1 \ f_1]$ = directional indices for tensile stress

$[d_2 \ e_2 \ f_2]$ = slip direction

replacing their values;

i.e $d_1$ = 0 , $e_1$ = 0 $f_1$ = 1 & $d_2$ = -1 , $e_2$ = 0 , $f_2$ = 1

$cos \lambda = \Big [\dfrac{(0\times -1)+(0\times 0) + (1\times 1) }{\sqrt{(0^2+0^2+1^2)+((-1)^2+0^2+1^2) }} \Big]$

$cos \ \lambda = \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$

Also, to find the angle $\phi$ between the stress [001] & normal slip plane [111]

Then;

$cos \ \phi = \Big [\dfrac{d_1d_3+e_1e_3+f_1f_3}{\sqrt{(d_1^2+e_1^2+f_1^2)+(d_3^2+e_3^2+f_3^2) }} \Big]$

replacing their values;

i.e $d_1$ = 0 , $e_1$ = 0 $f_1$ = 1 & $d_3$ = 1 , $e_3$ = 1 , $f_3$ = 1

$cos \ \phi= \Big [ \dfrac{ (0 \times 1)+(0 \times 1)+(1 \times 1)} {\sqrt {(0^2+0^2+1^2)+(1^2+1^2 +1^2)} } \Big]$

$cos \phi= \dfrac{1} {\sqrt{3} }$

However, the critical resolved SS(shear stress) $\mathbf{\tau_c}$ can be computed using the formula:

$\tau_c = (\sigma )(cos \phi )(cos \lambda)$

where;

applied tensile stress $\sigma =$ 13.9 MPa

∴

$\tau_c =13.9\times ( \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}} )( \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}})$

$\mathbf{\tau_c =5.675 \ MPa}$

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

15.64 MW

Explanation:

The computation of value of X that gives maximum profit is shown below:-

Profit = Revenue - Cost

= 15x - 0.2x 2 - 12 - 0.3x - 0.27x 2

= 14.7x - .47x^2 - 12

After solving the above equation we will get maximum differentiate for profit that is

14.7 - 0.94x = 0

So,

x = 15.64 MW

Therefore for computing the value of X that gives maximum profit we simply solve the above equation.

Define the coefficient of determination and discuss the impact you would expect it to have on your engineering decision-making b

scoundrel [369]

Answer and Explanation:

The coefficient of determination also called "goodness of fit" or R-squared(R²) is used in statistical measurements to understand the relationship between two variables such that changes in one variable affects the other. The level of relationship or the degree to which one affects the other is measured by 0 to 1 whereby 0 means no relationship at all and 1 means one totally affects the other while figures in between such 0.40 would mean one variable affects 40% of the other variable.

In making a decision as an engineer while using the coefficient of determination, one would try to understand the relationship between variables under consideration and make decisions based on figures obtained from calculating coefficient of determination. In other words when there is a 0 coefficient then there is no relationship between variables and an engineer would make his decisions with this in mind and vice versa.
