Concentrating solar power (CSP) plants use mirrors to concentrate the sun's energy to drive traditional steam turbines or engines that create electricity. The thermal energy concentrated in a CSP plant can be stored and used to produce electricity when it is needed, day or night. Today, roughly 1,815 megawatts (MWac) of CSP plants are in operation in the United States.
Parabolic Trough
Parabolic trough systems use curved mirrors to focus the sun’s energy onto a receiver tube that runs down the center of a trough. In the receiver tube, a high-temperature heat transfer fluid (such as a synthetic oil) absorbs the sun’s energy, reaching temperatures of 750°F or higher, and passes through a heat exchanger to heat water and produce steam. The steam drives a conventional steam turbine power system to generate electricity. A typical solar collector field contains hundreds of parallel rows of troughs connected as a series of loops, which are placed on a north-south axis so the troughs can track the sun from east to west. Individual collector modules are typically 15-20 feet tall and 300-450 feet long.
Compact Linear Fresnel Reflector
CLFR uses the principles of curved-mirror trough systems, but with long parallel rows of lower-cost flat mirrors. These modular reflectors focus the sun's energy onto elevated receivers, which consist of a system of tubes through which water flows. The concentrated sunlight boils the water, generating high-pressure steam for direct use in power generation and industrial steam applications.
Answer:
(A) Maximum voltage will be equal to 333.194 volt
(B) Current will be leading by an angle 54.70
Explanation:
We have given maximum current in the circuit 
Inductance of the inductor 
Capacitance 
Frequency is given f = 44 Hz
Resistance R = 500 ohm
Inductive reactance will be 
Capacitive reactance will be equal to 
Impedance of the circuit will be 
So maximum voltage will be 
(B) Phase difference will be given as 
So current will be leading by an angle 54.70
Answer:
For the two you haven't answered: (Drag greater than thrust, lift greater than weight) It will accelerate backwards (decelerate) and upwards
(Lift greater than weight, thrust greater than drag) accelerate upwards and forwards.
Reflection helps designers to learn from their experiences, to integrate and co-ordinate different aspects of a design situation, to judge the progress of the design process, to evaluate interactions with the design context, and to plan suitable future design activities.
Answer:
The velocity of flow is 10.0 m/s.
Explanation:
We shall use Manning's equation to calculate the velocity of flow
Velocity of flow by manning's equation is given by
where
n = manning's roughness coefficient
R = hydraulic radius
S = bed slope of the channel
We know that for an asphalt channel value of manning's roughness coefficient = 0.016
Applying values in the above equation we obtain velocity of flow as
