Heat absorbed by the solar collector = Area*Irradiance = 5.3*995 = 5273.5 W

Heat Q in joules absorbed in t hours = Heat used to heat water. That is,

5273.5*t = mCΔT; where mass = volume*density = 1*1000 = 1000 kg

Therefore;
5273.5t = 1000*4186*(65-20) = 188370000
t = 188370000/5273.5 = 35720.11 seconds = 35720.11/(60*60) hours ≈ 9.92 hours.

It will take approximately 9.92 hours.

A tensile test specimen has a gage length = 50 mm and its cross-sectional area = 100 mm2. The specimen yields at 48,000 N, and t
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

a) yield strength

   \sigma_y = \dfrac{F_y}{A} = =\dfrac{48000}{100} = 480 MPa

b) modulus of elasticity

strain calculation

\varepsilon_0=\dfrac{L-L_0}{L_0}=\dfrac{50.23-50}{50} = 0.0046

strain for offset yield point

\varepsilon_{new} = \varepsilon_0 -0.002

                              =0.0046-0.002 = 0.0026

now, modulus of elasticity

 E = \dfrac{\sigma_y}{\varepsilon_{new}}=\dfrac{480}{0.0026}

    = 184615.28 MPa = 184.615 GPa

c) tensile strength

 \sigma_u =\dfrac{F_{max}}{A}=\dfrac{87000}{100}=870MPa

d) percentage elongation

\% Elongation = \dfrac{L-L_0}{L_0}\times 100 = \dfrac{67.3-50}{50}\times 100 = 34.6\%

e) percentage of area reduction

\% Area\ reduction = \dfrac{A-A_f}{A}\times 100=\dfrac{100-53}{100}= 47 \%

Why do chillies burn even through they’re cold?
tigry1 [53]

When chilies burn in our mouths, the surrounding temperature does not affect how hot the taste of the chilli is. It is only the spiciness that we taste in our mouths. This spiciness is caused by the chemical called capsaicin. This chemical is contained in the cells of the chilli. Capsaicin irritates the cells in your mouth so that is why you feel the discomfort in your mouth.

Hope it helps :)
