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.

Water is boiled in a pot covered with a loosely fitting lid at a location where the pressure is 85.4 kPa. A 2.61 kW resistance h

eimsori [14]

Answer:

t = 6179.1 s = 102.9 min = 1.7 h

Explanation:

The energy provided by the resistance heater must be equal to the energy required to boil the water:

E = ΔQ

ηPt = mH

where.

η = efficiency = 84.5 % = 0.845

P = Power = 2.61 KW = 2610 W

t = time = ?

m = mass of water = 6.03 kg

H = Latent heat of vaporization of water = 2.26 x 10⁶ J/kg

Therefore,

(0.845)(2610 W)t = (6.03 kg)(2.26 x 10⁶ J/kg)

$t = \frac{1.362\ x\ 10^7\ J}{2205.45\ W}$

What are the main causes of injuries when using forklifts?

vagabundo [1.1K]

The forklift overturning is a very common way of getting injured from a forklift. Overturning the forklift means it tips over onto it's side due to the operator turning it too fast.

In particular, a system may or may not be (1) Memoryless, (2) Time invariant, (3)Linear, (4) Casual, (5) Stable.

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

A system may be sometimes casual, time invariant, memoryless, stable and linear in particular.

Thus the answer is true.

A system is casual when the output of the system at any time depends on the input only at the present time and in the past.

A system is said to be memoryless when the output for each of the independent variable at some given time is fully dependent on the input only at that particular time.

A system is linear when it satisfies the additivity and the homogeneity properties.

A system is called time invariant when the time shift in the output signal will result in the identical time shift of the output signal.

Thus a system can be time invariant, memoryless, linear, casual and stable.

2. A thin vertical panel L = 3 m high and w = 1.5 m wide is thermally insulated on one side and exposed to a solar radiation flu

n200080 [17]

Answer: 383.22K

Explanation:

L = 3m, w = 1.5m

Area A = 3 x 1.5 = 4.5m2

Q' = 750W/m2 (heat from sun) ,

& = 0.87

Q = &Q' = 0. 87x750 = 652.5W/m2

E = QA = 652.5 x 4.5 = 2936.25W

T(sur) = 300K, T(panel) = ?

Using E = §€A(T^4(panel) - T^4(sur))

§ = Stefan constant = 5.7x10^-8

€ = emmisivity = 0.85

2936.25 = 5.7x10^-8 x 0.85 x 4.5 x (T^4(panel) - 300^4)

T(panel) = 383.22K
