provides steady-state operating data for a solar power plant that operates on a Rankine cycle with Refrigerant 134a as its worki

ng fluid. The turbine and pump operate adiabatically. The rate of energy input to the collectors from solar radiation is 0.3 kW per m2 of collector surface area, with 60% of the solar input to the collectors absorbed by the refrigerant as it passes through the collectors. Determine the solar collector surface area, in m2 per kW of power developed by the plant. Discuss possible operational improvements that could reduce the required collector surface area

Answer:

hello some parts of your question is missing attached below is the missing part ( the required fig and table )

answer : The solar collector surface area = 7133 m^2

Explanation:

Given data :

Rate of energy input to the collectors from solar radiation = 0.3 kW/m^2

percentage of solar power absorbed by refrigerant = 60%

Determine the solar collector surface area

The solar collector surface area = 7133 m^2

attached below is a detailed solution of the problem

If you want to obtain a Class E license before you turn 18, you must______. A. be in compliance with school attendance requireme
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

The correct option is;

A. be in compliance with school attendance requirements

Explanation:

The requirements to acquire a special restricted driver's license for driver's license for under under 18 that have had a beginner's for up to 180 days include a minimum of 40 hours driving practice 10 of which should be in the dark. The application for the conditional drivers license is to be signed by the parent or guardian and the application is to be accompanied with proof of acceptable school attendance

At 17, after holding the special restricted drivers licence for a year without issues you can obtain the full drivers license.

A light bar AD is suspended from a cable BE and supports a 20-kg block at C. The ends A and D of the bar are in contact with fri
babymother [125]

Answer:

Tension in cable BE= 196.2 N

Reactions A and D both are  73.575 N

Explanation:

The free body diagram is as attached sketch. At equilibrium, sum of forces along y axis will be 0 hence

T_{BE}-W=0 hence

T_{BE}=W=20*9.81=196.2 N

Therefore, tension in the cable, T_{BE}=196.2 N

Taking moments about point A, with clockwise moments as positive while anticlockwise moments as negative then

196.2\times 0.125- 196.2\times 0.2+ D_x\times 0.2=0

24.525-39.24+0.2D_x=0

D_x=73.575 N

Similarly,

A_x-D_y=0

A_x=73.575 N

Therefore, both reactions at A and D are 73.575 N

The electron concentration in silicon at T = 300 K is given by
puteri [66]

Answer:

E=1.44*10^-7-2.6exp(\frac{-x}{18} )v/m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Temperature of silicon T=300k

Electron concentration n(x)=10^{16}\exp (\frac{-x}{18})

                                        \frac{dn}{dx}=(10^{16} *(\frac{-1}{16})\exp\frac{-x}{16})

Electron diffusion coefficient is Dn = 25cm^2/s \approx 2.5*10^{-3}

Electron mobility is \mu n = 960 cm^2/V-s \approx0.096m/V

Electron current density Jn = -40 A/cm^2 \approx -40*10^{4}A/m^2

Generally the equation for the semiconductor is mathematically given by

Jn=qb_n\frac{dn}{dx}+nq \mu E

Therefore

-40*10^{4}=1.6*10^{-19} *(2.5*10^{-3})*(10^{16} *(\frac{-1}{16})\exp\frac{-x}{16})+(10^{16}\exp (\frac{-x}{18}))*1.6*10^{-19}*0.096* E

E=\frac{-2.5*10^-^7 exp(\frac{-x}{18})+40*10^{4}}{1.536*10^-4exp(\frac{-x}{18} )}

E=1.44*10^-7-2.6exp(\frac{-x}{18} )v/m

What type of foundation do engineers use for a small and light building and when the load of the building is borne by columns? A
ikadub [295]

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

Individual footings are the commonest, and they are often used if the load of the building is borne by columns. Typically, every column will have an own footing. The footing is usually only a rectangular or square pad of concrete on which the column is erected
