A south-facing collector at latitude 40◦ is tipped up at an angle equal to its latitude. Compute the following insolations for J

anuary 1st at solar noon:
a. The direct beam insolation normal to the sun’s rays.

b. Beam insolation on the collector.

c. Diffuse radiation on the collector.

d. Reflected radiation on the collector with ground reflectivity 0.2.

Answer:

Explanation:

(c). looking for the radiation of the collector is given thus

C = 0.095 + 0.04 sin [360/365(n-100)] = 0.095 + 0.04 sin [360/365(1-100)]

C = 0.05535

∴ Diffuse radiation of the collector Idc = C*Ib + (1+cosσ/2)

Idc = 0.5535 * 908.7 (1+cos40/ 2) = 44.41 W/m²

Idc = 44.41 W/m²

What is a combination circuit? A combination circuit:

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Combination circuit; The basic strategy for the analysis of combination circuits involves using the meaning of equivalent resistance for parallel branches to transform the combination circuit into a series circuit.

Example:

The use of both series and parallel connections within the same circuit. In this case, light bulbs A and B are connected by parallel connections and light bulbs C and D are connected by series connections. This is an example of a combination circuit.

What is the effect of the workpiece specific cutting energy on the cutting forces, and why?

ella [17]

Explanation:

Specific cutting energy:

It the ratio of power required to cut the material to metal removal rate of material.If we take the force required to cut the material is F and velocity of cutting tool is V then cutting power will be the product of force and the cutting tool velocity.

Power P = F x V

Lets take the metal removal rate =MRR

Then the specific energy will be

$sp=\dfrac{F\times V}{MRR}$

If we consider that metal removal rate and cutting tool velocity is constant then when we increases the cutting force then specific energy will also increase.

For a cylindrical annulus whose inner and outer surfaces are maintained at 30 ºC and 40 ºC, respectively, a heat flux sensor mea

miskamm [114]

Answer:

$k=0.12\ln(r_2/r_1)$ $\frac {W}{ m^{\circ} C}$

where $r_1$ and $r_2$ be the inner radius, outer radius of the annalus.

Explanation:

Let $r_1$ , $r_2$ and $L$ be the inner radius, outer radius and length of the given annulus.

Temperatures at the inner surface, $T_1=30^{\circ}C\\$ and at the outer surface, $T_2=40^{\circ}C$ .

Let q be the rate of heat transfer at the steady-state.

Given that, the heat flux at r=3cm=0.03m is

$40 W/m^2$ .

$\Rightarrow \frac{q}{(2\pi\times0.03\times L)}=40$

$\Rightarrow q=2.4\pi L \;W$

This heat transfer is same for any radial position in the annalus.

Here, heat transfer is taking placfenly in radial direction, so this is case of one dimentional conduction, hence Fourier's law of conduction is applicable.

Now, according to Fourier's law:

$q=-kA\frac{dT}{dr}\;\cdots(i)$

where,

K=Thermal conductivity of the material.

T= temperature at any radial distance r.

A=Area through which heat transfer is taking place.

Here, $A=2\pi rL\;\cdots(ii)$

Variation of temperature w.r.t the radius of the annalus is

$\frac {T-T_1}{T_2-T_1}=\frac{\ln(r/r_1)}{\ln(r_2/r_1)}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{dT}{dr}=\frac{T_2-T_1}{\ln(r_2/r_1)}\times \frac{1}{r}\;\cdots(iii)$

Putting the values from the equations (ii) and (iii) in the equation (i), we have

$q=\frac{2\pi kL(T_1-T_2)}{\LN(R_2/2_1)}$

$\Rightarrow k= \frac{q\ln(r_2/r_1)}{2\pi L(T_2-T_1)}$

$\Rightarrow k=\frac{(2.4\pi L)\ln(r_2/r_1)}{2\pi L(10)}$ [as $q=2.4\pi L$ , and $T_2-T_1=10 ^{\circ}C$ ]

$\Rightarrow k=0.12\ln(r_2/r_1)$ $\frac {W}{ m^{\circ} C}$

This is the required expression of k. By putting the value of inner and outer radii, the thermal conductivity of the material can be determined.

When does the vc-turbo engine use lower compression ratios?.

Veronika [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

The VC-T engine (for "variable compression, turbocharged") can adjust its compression ratio between 8:1 and 14:1 on the fly, offering high-compression efficiency under light loads and the low compression needed for turbocharged power under hard acceleration.
