A flat-plate solar collector is used to heat water by having water flow through tubes attached at the back of the thin solar abs

orber plate. The absorber plate has a surface area of 2 m2 with emissivity and absorptivity of 0.9. The surface temperature of the absorber is 35°C, and solar radiation is incident on the absorber at 500 W/m2 with a surrounding temperature of 0°C. Convection heat transfer coefficient at the absorber surface is 5 W/m2 ∙K, while the ambient temperature is 25°C. Net heat rate absorbed by the solar collector heats the water from an inlet temperature (Tin) to an outlet temperature (Tout). If the water flow rate is 5 g/s with a specific heat of 4.2 kJ/kg∙K, determine the temperature rise of the water.

Answer:

dT = 21.35 C

Explanation:

Given:

- Area of the absorber plate A = 2 m^2

- e= a = 0.9

- T_s = 35 C

- q''_solar = 500 W/m^2

- T_surr = 0 C

- h = 5 W/m^2 K

- T_amb = 25 C

- flow(m) = 5 g/s

- c_p = 4.2 KJ/kgK

Find:

- The temperature rise of water.

Solution:

- Using Energy balance on the plate:

                                   E_in - E_out = q_in

- Find E_in and E_out:

                                   E_in = a*q''_solar

                            E_out = q"_convec + q"_rad

                   E_out = h*(T_s - T_amb) + e*σ*(T_s^4 - T_surr^4)

- Compute E_in and E_out:

                            E_in = 0.9*(500) = 450 W/m^2

         E_out = 5*(35 - 25) + 0.9*5.67*10^-8*(308^4 - 273^4)

                                E_out = 225.778 W/m^2

- Hence,

                                  E_in - E_out = q_in

                                 450 - 225.778 = q_in

                                  q_in = 224 W/m^2

- Assuming thickness of plate and pipe through which water flows as negligible, then:

                                flow(m)*c_p*(dT) = q_in*A

                                dT = q_in*A / flow(m)*c_p

- plug values in:

                                    dT = 224*2 / 5*4.2

                                    dT = 21.35 C

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

1. Az=258 lb

2. My=3440 ft lb

3. ∑Mz= 0

Explanation:

∑ Fx= Ax=0

∑ Fy= Ay=0

∑ Fz= Az-86-86-86

Az=258 lb

∑Mx=86 X 31 +Mx=0

Mx=2666 ft lb

∑My=86 X 40 +My=0

My=3440 ft lb

Three groups of students are given study outlines for 6 weeks. One group studies 2 hours a night, a second group studies 1 hour
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

The constant here is the study outline

Explanation:

In scientific research, the constant variable is that part/variable of the experiment that does not change or is set not to change. Examples include temperature, environment or height.

Assuming the scenery described in this question is an experiment. All the groups presented are bound by a constant during the experiment. The constant here is the study outline. The study outline provided to the students is not going to change.

NOTE: There could be confusion as regards the answer being the final exam grade but that will be the dependent variable as that will be the outcome of the experiment while the time spent to study will be the independent variable.

What is the need to achieve population inversion​
notka56 [123]

Explanation:

Population inversion is a process of achieving more electrons in the higher energy state than the lower energy state. In order to achieve population inversion, we need to supply energy to the laser medium. The process of supplying energy to the laser medium is called pumping.

Two fluids, A and B exchange heat in a counter – current heat exchanger. Fluid A enters at 4200C and has a mass flow rate of 1 k
Volgvan

Answer:

Your question has some missing information below is the missing information

Given that ( specific heat of fluid A = 1 kJ/kg K and specific heat of fluid B = 4 kJ/kg k )

answer : 300 kW , 95°c

Explanation:

Given data:

Fluid A ;

Temperature of Fluid ( Th1 )  = 420° C

mass flow rate (mh)  = 1 kg/s

Fluid B :

Temperature ( Tc1) = 20° C

mass flow rate ( mc ) = 1 kg/s

effectiveness of heat exchanger = 75% = 0.75

<u>Determine the heat transfer rate and  exit temperature of fluid</u> <u>B</u>

Cph = 1000 J/kgk

Cpc = 4000 J/Kgk

Given that the exit temperatures of both fluids are not given we will apply the NTU will be used to determine the heat transfer rate and exit temperature of fluid B

exit temp of fluid  B = 95°C

heat transfer = 300 kW

attached below is a the detailed solution
