A community plans to build a facility to convert solar radiation to electrical power. The community requires 2.80 MW of power, a

nd the system to be installed has an efficiency of 30.0% (that is, 30.0% of the solar energy incident on the surface is converted to useful energy that can power the community).
Assuming sunlight has a constant intensity of 1 180 W/m2, what must be the effective area of a perfectly absorbing surface used in such an installation?

Given Information:  

Output power required = Pout = 2.80 MW

Efficiency = η = 30%

Intensity = I = 1180 W/m²

Required Information:  

Effective area = A = ?

Answer:  

Effective area = A = 7.907x10³ m²

Step-by-step explanation:  

A community plans to build a facility to convert solar power into electrical power and this facility has an efficiency of 30%

As we know efficiency is given by

η = Pout/Pin

Where Pout is the output power and Pin is the input power.

Pin = Pout/η

Pin = 2.80x10⁶/0.30

Pin = 9.33x10⁶ W

The effective area of a perfectly absorbing surface used in such an installation can be found using

A = Pin/I

Where I is the in Intensity of the sunlight in W/m²

A = 9.33x10⁶/1180

A = 7.907x10³ m²

Therefore, the effective area of the absorbing surface would be 7.907x10³ m².

In this problem set, you will implement multidimensional scaling (MDS) from scratch. You may use standard matrix/vector librarie
EleoNora [17]

Features of Multidimensional scaling(MDS) from scratch is described below.

Explanation:

Multidimensional scaling (MDS) is a way to reduce the dimensionality of data to visualize it.  We basically want to project our (likely highly dimensional) data into a lower dimensional space and preserve the distances between points.  

If we have some highly complex data that we project into some lower N dimensions, we will assign each point from our data a coordinate in this lower dimensional space, and the idea is that these N dimensional coordinates are ordered based on their ability to capture variance in the data.  Since we can only visualize things in 2D, this is why it is common to assess your MDS based on plotting the first and second dimension of the output.  

If you look at the output of an MDS algorithm, which will be points in 2D or 3D space, the distances represent similarity. So very close points = very similar, and points farther away from one another = less similar.

Working of MDS

The input to the MDS algorithm is our proximity matrix.  There are  two kinds of classical MDS that we could use:  Classical (metric) MDS is for data that has metric properties, like actual distances from a map or calculated from a vector .Nonmetric MDS is for more ordinal data (such as human-provided similarity ratings) for which we can say a 1 is more similar than a 2, but there is no defined (metric) distance between the values of 1 and 2.

Uses

Multidimensional scaling (MDS) is a means of visualizing the level of similarity of individual cases of a dataset. MDS is used to translate "information about the pairwise 'distances' among a set of n objects or individuals" into a configuration of n points mapped into an abstract Cartesian space.
