Answer:

The company found the cost of the required photovoltaic cells too expensive.

Explanation:

Solar energy can be used as an alternative source of supply for fuel. Solar energy is a renewable source of energy, that is it keeps on replenishing every day. Also solar energy does not require a lot of maintenance.

The cost required is starting a solar system is very high because one needs to buy solar panel, photovoltaic cells for batteries, inverters and so on.

From the question, the company decided against solar energy for the time being. This means that probably in the future they might consider it. Therefore it is as a result of the economic situation of the company that they have not set up a solar system because the cost of the required photovoltaic cells too expensive.

A piston-cylinder device contains an ideal gas mixture of 3 kmol of He gas and 7 kmol of Ar gas (both gases are monatomic) at 27

Answer:

Q = 62 ( since we are instructed not to include the units in the answer)

Explanation:

Given that:

$n_{HCl} = 3 \ kmol\\n_{Ar} = 7 \ k mol$

$T_1 = 27^0 \ C = ( 27+273)K = 300 K$

$P_1 = 200 \ kPa$

Q = ???

Now the gas expands at constant pressure until its volume doubles

i.e if $V_1 = x\\V_2 = 2V_1$

Using Charles Law; since pressure is constant

$V \alpha T$

$\frac{V_2}{V_1} =\frac{T_2}{T_1}$

$\frac{2V_1}{V_1} =\frac{T_2}{300}$

$T_2 = 300*2\\T_2 = 600$

mass of He =number of moles of He × molecular weight of He

mass of He = 3 kg × 4

mass of He = 12 kg

mass of Ar =number of moles of Ar × molecular weight of Ar

mass of He = 7 kg × 40

mass of He = 280 kg

Now; the amount of Heat Q transferred = $m_{He}Cp_{He} \delta T + m_{Ar}Cp_{Ar} \delta T$

From gas table

$Cp_{He} = 5.9 \ kJ/Kg/K\\Cp_{Ar} = 0.5203 \ kJ/Kg/K$

∴ Q = $12*5.19*10^3(600-300)+280*0.5203*10^3(600-300)$

Q = $62.389 *10^6$

Q = 62 MJ

Q = 62 ( since we are instructed not to include the units in the answer)
