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:
Explanation:
Using the expression shown below as:
Where,
is the number of vacancies
N is the number of defective sites
k is Boltzmann's constant = 
is the activation energy
T is the temperature
Given that:
N = 10 moles
1 mole = 
So,
N = 
Temperature = 425°C
The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:
T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15
So,
T = (425 + 273.15) K = 698.15 K
T = 698.15 K
Applying the values as:
![ln[\frac {2.3}{6.023}\times 10^{-11}]=-\frac {Q_v}{1.38\times 10^{-23}\times 698.15}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=ln%5B%5Cfrac%20%7B2.3%7D%7B6.023%7D%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-11%7D%5D%3D-%5Cfrac%20%7BQ_v%7D%7B1.38%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-23%7D%5Ctimes%20698.15%7D)
Answer:
Manufacturer’s Recommendations means the instructions, procedures, and recommendations which are issued by the manufacturer of any equipment used at the Facility relating to the operation, maintenance, or repair of such equipment, and any revisions or updates thereto from time to time issued by the manufacturer.
Manufacturer’s Recommendations means the instructions, procedures and recommendations which are issued by any manufacturer of the Equipment relating to the operation, maintenance and repair of the Equipment and any revisions to such instructions, procedures and recommendations agreed to by any manufacturer of the Equipment and which are valid at the time such operation, repair and maintenance is being carried out.
Manufacturer’s Recommendations means the written instructions, procedures and recommendations which are issued by the original equipment manufacturer of any plant or equipment used at the Utility Plant relating to the operation, maintenance and repair of such plant or equipment and any revisions thereto issued by the manufacturer, which are valid and applicable at the time such operation, maintenance or repair is undertaken. Notwithstanding the above, Manufacturer’s Recommendations shall not include any instructions, procedures or recommendations of a manufacturer of any plant or equipment that the Owner and the Operator have agreed in writing to exclude from this definition or have agreed in writing should not be followed.
Explanation:
Explanation:
A.
H = Aeσ^4
Using the stefan Boltzmann law
When we differentiate
dH/dT = 4AeσT³
dH/dT = 4(0.15)(0.9)(5.67)(10^-8)(650)³
= 8.4085
Exact error = 8.4085x20
= 168.17
H(650) = 0.15(0.9)(5.67)(10^-8)(650)⁴
= 1366.376watts
B.
Verifying values
H(T+ΔT) = 0.15(0.9)(5.67)(10)^-8(670)⁴
= 1542.468
H(T+ΔT) = 0.15(0.9)(5.67)(10^-8)(630)⁴
= 1205.8104
Error = 1542.468-1205.8104/2
= 168.329
ΔT = 40
H(T+ΔT) = 0.15(0.9)(5.67)(10)^-8(690)⁴
= 1735.05
H(T-ΔT) = 0.15(0.9)(5.67)(10^-8)(610)⁴
= 1735.05-1059.83/2
= 675.22/2
= 337.61
