At the surface of the earth, there is an approximate average solar flux of 0.75 kW/m2. A family wishes to construct a solar ener

gy conversion system to power their home. If the conversion system is 30% efficient and the family needs a maximum of 26 kW, what effective surface area is needed for perfectly absorbing collectors?

Answer:

S=115.6 [m^{2}]

Explanation:

If the family needs 26 kW of power, and knowing that the efficient is 30% the relation between the solar flux and the power would be:

\Phi_{solar} [kW/m^{2}]\cdot S [m^{2}] \cdot e=26 [kW] (1)

e is the efficient (in our case 0.3)

Φsolar is the solar flux

S is the effective surface

Solving (1) for S we have:

S=\frac{26 [kW]}{0.75 [kW/m^{2}]\cdot 0.3}=115.6 [m^{2}]

I hope it helps!

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

29.5 m/s

Explanation:

Volumetric flowrate = (average velocity of flow) × (cross sectional area)

Volumetric flowrate = 0.111 liters/s = 0.000111 m³/s

Cross sectional Area of flow = πr²

Diameter = 0.00579 m,

Radius, r = d/2 = 0.002895 m

A = π(0.002895)² = 0.0000037629 m²

Velocity of flow = (volumetric flow rate)/(cross sectional Area of flow)

v = 0.000111/0.0000037629

v = 29.5 m/s

The Milky Way measures _________ light years in diameter.
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

The Milky Way is about 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 km (about 100,000 light years or about 30 kpc) across. The Sun does not lie near the center of our Galaxy. It lies about 8 kpc from the center on what is known as the Orion Arm of the Milky Way.

Which equation is used to calculate the magnetic force on a charge moving in a magnetic field?
JulijaS [17]

The force is perpendicular to the plane formed by v and B. Since the force is zero if v is parallel to B, charged particles often follow magnetic field lines rather than cross them.

B) F = |q|vBsin
